Sometimes I'd go down as low as 58 but typically I'm aiming for 62 or less.
I have my set up in the basement, and I leave the little window open and this morning was about 56. In the coldest parts of winter, I can get it to 50, I think even upper 40s. Things are definitely better for me when the temp is under 60. I have 3 fans, 2 of which are the lasko pro performance (gold standard) and one is the lasko cyclone (bigger but crappier). I have them plugged into wifi sockets and I switch on the sockets with my phone once I'm riding (usually I start to need a fan once I get past 180w). I use all my fans on max setting and need every bit of it lol
