As long as the miner stays on so it generates heat, does not get wet, has air circulation and stays clean I would think it will do fine.

I might be concerned about the wiring getting to brittle if it gets really cold.

yeah i am building a box to put them inside, whit the exhaust out of the windows .

It kinda will have two sides and intake will facing inside the buildingn whit the extra roof.

Thermal stress will reduce your equipment's lifespan and blowing snow will get through your HVAC and destroy the machines.

you need to override fan settings for miners outside.
I used my garage last year.
(Michigan) I saw alot of failures due to hotspots, keep the fans blowing all the time, it can be set to lower sped, but circulation is important or you're going to end up with potentially damaged equipment.
or just a fwe large fans blowing across the whole farm is another option if you have the room.
but at least tarp to walls to keep moisture out

What types of damage could the machine takes if they are placed outside in the scandinavian winter.

whit roof . no walls ?

any overclock pocibilities?

Let's say s5 machines sp20s ?

No walls? What about rain/snow? Tongue

Condensation might be a problem I guess?

this is the idea.

The Blow will be outside and the intake will be pulled from downside.

PLacing the Miners on the balconi the intake should not bring any moisture from the downside.

Weather is pretty dry were i live.

The little box will be weather prooff so no water or snow will be getting inside.
