Rum 'em till they melt
I embraced myself once... my mom caught me and i got a stern talking to from my dad.
A couple of box fans in the windows, a few other carefully placed fans, and no problems.

in data centers heat removed by powerful fans installed on top of server racks and pushed by ducts to outside. You can do something similar. Main point is the heat have to be removed from room.
Yes, I think we could all use some hugs. Even from ourselves.
I'm going to be living in another country for a while, but my miner will be sitting in my vacant room AC on full blast and a ceiling fan 24/7. My bitcoin partner will be keeping a virtual eye on things but it's important we get to 99.9% uptime. Oh let me not forget to mention I don't pay for electricity or cooling and my cards are all under 70C.
If ambient temp goes up for 10 degrees how much it affects a gpu?
my rigs are in the basement, that helps, earth cooling
13C here in South Australia atm...Miners keeping me warm at 5am in the morning 
I was thinking of this! I have miners going for the first time this summer. All winter I have a naturally cool 10-16 c room (attic) but it gets to 25/27 C in summer for a few weeks. Was looking at an air con machine, but that's an expensive electric product!
Summer is only an issue for half the world. 
Alright folks,
The summer is almost here and while mining the room temperature gets really hot, which reduces the delta ΔT, which makes cards run hotter.
So how do you keep your room and rig cool?
