i dont think you've is an improper contraction like you said in the YGPM def.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=you've

Saying "You've Got" would equate to "You Have Got"

"You've" is hard to use in proper context because it works better to simply use "You" instead.

like..

"You killed my dog" sounds better than "You've killed my dog"

"You've/You have" is meant to emphasize a past tense than would be highlighted by a past-tense verb anyways.

So, yes. You've is a proper contraction. But an ill-used and unuseful one.

Spoken english varies from written english. That... and its english, and our language is just goofy anyway.

But the dictionary is awesome. Great work!

Well, I'm an O/C n00b, so this dictionary is great!

Btw, what the heck is a "peltier"? Maybe you can add that to the dictionary...

Ok, Ill try to help a lil here.
Everything in italics is quoted from Dictionary.com

Reservoir: A receptacle or chamber for storing a fluid.
Used in water-cooling for holding a larger amount of water then the tubing and water pump will hold on their own.

Radiator: A heating device consisting of a series of connected pipes, typically inside an upright metal structure, through which steam or hot water is circulated so as to radiate heat into the surrounding space
As stated, it is used to remove the heat from the water within a water-cooling system.

A full Water cooling system has* to consist of: Water Pump, Water-Block, Tubing, zip-ties (or something to hold the tubing to the barbs), barbs and Radiator.

Heater Core: A heater core is the same thing as a radiator effectively. It is used to remove the heat from the water. Most will use a heater core (from an '86 Chevy Chevette) due to its good capabilities of cooling water.

Hrm... Maybe not the best, but hopefully its a start on some of this you wanted.

Looks good man, nice work!

* Please read, should, as if the system did not, there could be complications of possible immense degrees.

I no longer have free time to research other terms so if somebody here wants a new term you'll need to research it on your own and post the results here.

Thanks

What about Artifacts for the video card modders?

mmills · Aug 10, 2003

Here are two terms I was looking for, yesterday:

POST: Power-on-start-up

As best I can tell, the phrase 'failed to POST' means there was no chirpy beep after punching the power-on button.

Stepping: ?

It seems each motherboard has a 'stepping' chip somewhere in NorthBridge. I guess these chips convert a clock's default frequency to various multiples or divisions. Apparently, not all 'stepping chips' are alike, even on the same motherboards (hows that for a guess?)

Captain Slug · Aug 10, 2003

From what I've gathered steppings are a certain production run. But I'll need to research it a little just to be sure.

This will be my first dictionary update in the past 7 months... Thanks

I came across the term stepping in the following thread:

Here is another mystery term: rail

usage: My 12v rail is pretty good.

Sounds like a reference to an oscilloscope, but maybe not.

Here's another contribution:

The mystery (for newbies) numbers for memory tuning. They are always mentioned as x1-x2-x3-x4. For example, 2-3-3-7/

As best I can tell, the following are the correct labels:
X1 = CAS Latency
X2 = RAS-to-CAS Delay
X3 = Row-precharge Delay
X4 = Row-active delay

I've got an NF7-S and they are listed in my BIOS as
X4
X2
X3
X1

Some alternative BIOS must have established the standard order.
