## How the heck do they do vapor phase cooling with a cpu ? Vapor phase
cooling works on the premise that the water is brought up to a boil. And
thats with normal sea level pressure. Put the system loop under
pressure, and the boiling point will rise by a bunch. Will a cpu handle
212 F ?

The vapour phase CPU coolers to which you refer do not use water. They 
are akin to the innards of a fridge. The working fluid/vapour is some 
sort of freon (R143A etc these days).
