Hello,
I have done quite a bit of research, but haven't found a proper answer yet.
I live in Canada and would like to build a little mining farm out in a shed made of thin steel.
Here it gets bellow -35 degrees Celsius, but miner temperatures go down to only 0 degrees.
What would happen if i had them running in this shed? Wouldn't they heat up the shed enough to keep it warm? Or would they just create moisture and shorten out?
This seems very dangerous...
What would you guys recommend?

I have tried running a few S5's in balcony through last winter. Surprisingly they all survived without any issues at around -20. Below this temp I didn't run them. To prevent dust I put them all under a sofa cover. Fans usually were under 3k rpm. Only time I had problem with it was the router failed to boot up. (yea i threw a wifi router on balcony as a repeater of my main indoor router.)

You can run them in a shed no problem, the heat will warm up and dry up the place. Prepare a plan where you can heat up the place BEFORE starting up the miner, IE do not start the miner at -20 C

1 miner might not be enough to warm however. might need 4 hehe.

Did some one already had this kind of problem ? It's the first time I hear that miners need a minimum of heat (usually people want the coldest place for their miners so they can overclock/overvolt them).

Why not just run them in your house and re use the heat instead of wating it in a shed. I know they can be noisy but seeing as the by product is heat it seems a shame to waste it. You would be killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

I would really love to run them at home. But our house is very small, and running 4 of those in the living room will make it extremely loud.

It seems really dangerous even if you are able to warm up the place before you turn on them. What does happen if everything goes down for a while and then the devices restart? A disaster, trust me

Okay thanks. I guess I could also just use a heater to heat up the place before starting them.
And the heat/cold mix won't create too much moisture?
