I would think they would not over heat a room using AC. As they only use 250-300 watts combine

300w worth of heat in a small room without an AC is a lot of heat especially if the room is well insulated and it's hot outside, the heat will accumulate and the room will eventually get pretty warm/hot.

I don't see any reason why not to run them in the garage, you may as well get a small USB fan to move the air around to keep them even cooler, if the garage is big, you may not even need much air movement.

yes, it is a relatively small room, and it gives off more heat than you would expect. its not extreme, but it is noticable in the heat of the day

That's a pretty small miner and low power consumption I don't think it could give much heat in your room unless you have a small room.

I don't think you should run them in the garage but it is a good alternative place to run a miner you need to add a bit of fan to keep their temp down and prevent it from overheating.

I have 2 small miners, a Futurebit Apollo and Avalon nano 3.
I currently keep them both in my front bedroom office, but the issue is the room gets hot. Especially right now in July. In Florida.

Is there any reason I shouldn't keep them in the garage as they mine? The garage does get hot, maybe 90 degrees or so during the day.

I'm trying to figure out a good place during the summer heat for them as they mine. Any ideas?

They should handle 90f try the garage and see how they work for you.

I have spent time in Florida most people run AC in the summer.
