My GPUs (5 x r9 280X and 2 x r9 290X) in the garage overheated the garage in just one night with temperatures around 0degC. I ended up having to put an exhaust and intake ducts into the side of the garage (along with a fan) to circulate outside air through the garage.
2500W drawn from the wall is likely 80-90% turned to heat; that's a pretty strong heater to have running 24/7 in a single car garage.
If I'm going to expand, I will have to find some better method to move the heat outside.
Topic: Has anyone relocated their miners due to cold weather? (Read 1277 times)
I keep mine in the garage (11-25 degrees F), if you think it's getting too cold, just overlock 
.

All mine are in an outbuilding where the temp currently is about -5 degrees C and they are so very happy out there!
I had 2x 6970's running last winter, but I sold them in June because even those 2 cards put out too much heat for the summer. They made a 6 degree F difference in a 10x12 room. Now I'm wishing I had kept them for this winter.
I am moving all of mine out to my external garage; should help alot with consistency. It has it's own climate control but I can just let them chill in the winter Just need to get the wiring done in there for 10 computers.

I've had my two rigs in the garage for a while now.
It's -24deg C (-11deg F) here in toronto, canada today and the rigs are loving it. Fans are running at 20-30% and cards are 75deg C.

I relocated my miner because it was too hot here in AUS +41 deg C LOL 
For instance, my garage is a good 30 degrees. I don't have one yet, but would it be smart to put it in the garage?
I'm assuming you mean 30F?
Yes, sorry about that. Outside temp is about -11.

It was 82F here in southern California today.... what is this cold weather you speak of?
It gets down to a chilly 58F at night. I still have to run the AC during the day
