I am thinking of running my mini miners that I got this year in my backyard shed during the winter to keep it slightly warmer and dryer.

I have 2 Canaan Avalaon 3s, 2 Braiins BMM Mini Miner 101, and 1 BitAxe Gamma.

The shed is not air tight so there is airflow, and a little bit of snow gets inside the edges. Our winters range typically from -10C to -36C throughout December to the end of February.

My logic tells me that a cool processor is a fast processor and that this could possibly prolong the life of the chips as they would be running cooler (either that or slightly faster).

Is this a bad idea? Could I cut holes in a rubber-made bin and put them in there with the cover open?

Apologies for the newbie thermodynamic thought process.

Any feedback or thoughts are appreciated!

Too hot or too cold both bad. Why not just run a s19 or something. They are only a few hundred bucks these days. If you need 110v the modification is easy

too loud, too inefficient. I live in a rural area, where you can hear a blade of grass moving at night. I silence above most other things in life.

Running 5 Elphapex DG1 Home miners instead from which I convert the revenue into Bitcoin every month among other miners...
