So I am using an AMD Athlon ii X2 240 in my server and its in a shed. What would the lowest temp the CPU should be ran at. It is 56 Fahrenheit right now out side and the CPU is idle at 17 degrees Celsius. The lowest it has reached in the past week is 6 degrees Celsius. Then it averages 14.4 Degrees Celsius. Is that good or should I move it inside to a climate controlled environment.

I don't think the CPU will be affected by low temps, but other parts of the PC might. If it gets near freezing in the shed, some motor/bearing lubricants in fans might gum up. And if the humidity fluctuates with rising and dropping temps, moister will form... also not good. It might be best to move it to a controlled climate area. Or put a space heater in the shed that has thermostat control.
