It's summer here in Las Vegas, NV and I get the feeling I'll be laughing at what most of you are calling "heat" wherever you're from. I've actually had to offload a couple nodes to the homes of friends and family to keep my apartment under 85F, it's pretty miserable really.

It's hot in UK as well.The problem is that even though the UK actually has cooler summers than USA,it's the humidity that's really problematic there.I know cus I'm from UK.The uncomfortable heat (plus humidity) is really causing me problems now for my 2 mining computers. I've had to leave my laptop running overnight 24/7 for 1.5wks now while Pc rests overnight to beat the heat.It's bad news because you're not really profiting anymore and can just about cover electricity costs (but that's it).The part of UK I'm on can be as hot as 35oC or more in the tough summers there and the humidity is quite high there as well.

Just adding my experience to share it with you guys.

P.S.Please don't mention why laptop GPUs are crap or anything else about the 'proper' way to mine but this is about beating the heat,not highest performance (I think).I am also fully aware of the risks and benefits of certain setups and practices.Thank you.
