it's winter, so you know what that means...

[grue]

0. (optional) find unoccupied room, relocate mining rigs there
1. place mining rig(s) near window
2. open window
3. instant 20°C drop
4. overclock to the max
5.
6. profit!

[NothinG]

Too many steps.

1) Place rig near open window.
2) Overclock to the maxx!
3)
4) Profit!

No need for sub-zero temp for overclocking.

It's about saving on electricity,,, 

[chungenhung]

still too many steps.
1. put rigs outside
2. profit!

Why do you give away your valuable heat?  I moved my mining farm to the Antarctica Research station.  I collect revenue from both Bitcoins and heat output.

colder temps = superconductor!

1 Find frequently used room
2 place mining rig in unused corner
3 instant temperature rise in room
4 turn heat down in house overall now that bitcoin producing heater is spot heating most used room
5 profit through lower heating bill

my gaming computer (also my mining computer when not gaming) is in my man-cave (read: masturbatorium), and I must say it gets mighty toasty in there

actually its summer, temps expected 31-35 deg C for the next week....

moved miners outside last week, was nice having them in for winter

It seems grue's hypothesis is that #3 (20° drop) allows #4 (overclock to the max), enabling #6 (profit). However, overclocked mining is less efficient in terms of hashes per watt, and, if you are wasting the heat output that could be heating your house, is pointless when it costs more in overclocked electricity than is earned in additional bitcoins.

well the internet covers the whole world - it is both

"it's winter in the northern hemisphere, so you know what that means..."
would have been a better title

http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml certainly says it is NOT winter...

Hmmm... migrating miners?  In the future they follow winter around the globe!
