In summer, you will need to disable dual mining mode. You will also need to adjust the down volt mode. All this will allow you to reduce the temperature by 10-15 degrees. You also need to think about the circulation of air in the room. To enhance the effect, I additionally use a large floor fan. I even mined in the summer of dcr but this coin is no longer profitable to mine even in the winter.
Ok, ok, 1000$ seems to me to much for something that just moves air and given that I can potentially make maybe 1000$ per month (given difficulty etc).
1. Circulation of air
I have to circulate air that is ideally much colder than my GPU's temp.
Ideally I do not want to use to much for fan's and too much electricity ...
How to do it in my flat is questionable ... got french windows.
Once I open windows, doors , temperature inside and outside is going to be the same.
So that there is no difference when I do it on balcony (north/east side) or inside?
Then I have to protect it against occasional showers
.
2. Air-con
If I buy air-con I guess it would not make sense to circulate air and cost of additional 1-2kW could quite damage profitability...
That I have to calculate because I currently use cca. 2.7kW/h, that would be 40-100% increase in electricity consumption.
(I wish electricity was free ... somehow
)
3. Any other ideas?

If you can't come up with something that will work... One thing you can do is take pictures of your gpus to sell on ebay or craigslist. I do expect the markets to be flooded with people who can't handle the heat.
@gotminer - Be careful about exhausting into your attic, especially when the summer is over and you move into winter. What will happen in the winter is all of the humidity that you exhaust into the attic will freeze, accumulate ice and then when it gets warm it will all melt and you will have water spots on your ceiling and possible mold...
And I'm going to exhaust into my attic with this fan ...

Yeah I've thought about that a little. Might be a better idea to exhaust through the attic to the outside.

Hi,
I get temperatures of my GPU's from 55-75 °Celsius and we have still winter (outside 0 and inside 22 °C).
How to prepare for summer (outside 35-35 °C, inside 27-29°C without air con),
how am I going to cool this stuff and not to spend too much money?
How are you going to cool it?
Thanks for suggestions.
Last summer I shut down my mining rigs. For the summer of 2016, there was decent money to be made on ETH mining, so I moved my rigs to the garage.

You're going to have to circulate the air in the room at a high rate. My mining room is an upstairs bedroom. I'm bringing air in from the outside with this fan ...
