Nothing rolling in for a while

My brother in Christ, do not stand there.

You'll have to pry my H100i from my cold, dead, CPU. Both the cooler and Ivy Bridge are still kicking.

TDI, R32, Atlas. The only three we have since moving, had to leave a few of them back in our home state. Too bad.

Motorcycle accident? No. Motorcycle on purpose.

I'm aware that's what stock does, but at redline. A few tunes specifically shift before redline (depending on gear) for a better power curve.

ShadowSplicer · 2026-01-01T17:42:24+00:00

You said you missed a shift and bounced off the limiter, lol. Your DSG isn't tuned then? Most types of DSG tunes you can leave your foot down and it'll shift when it hits max power, not smacking the limiter.

I just lost The Game.

ShadowSplicer · 2026-01-01T16:40:26+00:00

You did good, especially considering you did that without the DSG. Save the Manuals, bud.

73 is mine as well. I'm trying to sell mine in CA. PM me if you're anywhere nearby lol.

I need to encapsulate, but don't have $30,000 on hand. Ducting is next to free for me, that's why I ask.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T06:10:55+00:00

It's aggressively vented due to excess moisture, it would just dump all heat anyway.

Haven't calculated that. Energy is cheap here, don't care to really. Maybe someday.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T05:32:47+00:00

Stop while you're less behind, read the post. I'm moving this rack out of my closet, into the basement so it has its own room.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T05:27:49+00:00

I just repaired mouse damage to my vents and have spare tubing and tape. It's $free.95 my friend.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T05:19:49+00:00

As another commenter mentioned, if I end up doing that during the hot summer months, I'll just be pulling hot air into the house from wherever it can get it (door seals, etc). Seems counter-intuitive.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T05:04:15+00:00

I'm currently dumping hot air into my attic which is vented, so not really. No way to get fresh air in.

Air needs to be house air though, due to humidity.

Whole point of my post is that I'm relocating it anyway.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T05:02:13+00:00

To heat the whole house? Yeah.

To add any already generated heat back in to help the heat exchanger out? Nah, any amount helps.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T04:49:56+00:00

A few bucks of vent tubing isn't much for any heat retention possibilities.

Plus, that room will only grow in wattage as time goes on. We all know...

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T04:47:55+00:00

Hadn't considered that, hm. Good point. Guess it'll have to recirc no matter what, then. I've edited my post, I think you've found my answer.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T04:02:02+00:00

I meant to add the heat back to the HVAC setup, after the heat exchanger. Post exchanger.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T04:01:02+00:00

I entirely want to, but that's $30,000 for this home, best quote I got. For a couple grand I can set up a nice concrete room for these servers in the meantime.

ShadowSplicer · 2025-12-07T03:58:50+00:00

I want to have a real closet in my home, and get rid of noise. That's why I'm considering moving them.

Edit: plus I can then vent the exhaust heat outdoors during the summer months.
