how to prepare for summer?

If you can make air circulation - do it, other ways are not effective.

In the past, I have simply placed a 20" box fan directly on top of my mining rig and this adequately cooled down the rig.  Every situation is different and your rig configuration may not allow a box fan to be simply set on top of it.  But for me... it's really easy.  I just plop the fan right on top of my rig and turn it on without any need for extra configuration

Fan on top sucking hot air up?  How many rigs/gpu's?  And what was the size of the room?  The hot air has to go somewhere doesn't it?  What was the temp of the room and the average temp of your gpu's?  Maybe it's not a big deal, if we're talking one 6 gpu rig, but I have 31 gpu's.

I think that best idea would be just install and air condition in the room which will allow to cool air and your rigs will work normally
other ideas would be to lower power level on afterburner and create strong air flow with huge blowers or fan..
or the third option - shut the rigs down

Air conditioning is very expensive and not necessary.

Yesterday, I bought 3 different fans 120mm to 140mm up to 20decibel and sub 10eur  .
I'm going to test it and then add few my rig and see how temp changes.

don't worry about the noise from the fan, the most important GPU temperature is maintained,
how to replace the GPU thermal paste, have you ever replaced it?

note: don't do thermal paste replacement if GPU is still warranty

I would not worry about the noise if I did not have 10card rig in the living room ... 

How to replace thermalpaste?!
Well, logic says, remove fans and have a look how it was done before and do it better 

I just replaced thermal paste on CPUs, it is easy, maybe you can try different levels of thickness and check temperature so that you know what thickness to use.

I am lucky enough to live in a climate with low humidity so swamp coolers work well in the summer and they move tons of air. You can get a Bonaire Durango that will move 5000 cfm and keep everything nice and cool while only using 200-300 watts depending on your settings. This only works in low humidity climates otherwise you are better getting off with a high cfm fan or two and doing a push or push/pull type airflow setup to keep the heat out of the room.
