Closed Loop Liquid Cooling Shipping?

[Thegame741]

Im buying an h100i for my gaming pc but i life overseas so the shipping will take quite a long time. Im wondering if the liquid cooler thats in the box can somehow leak due to the different pressure or temperature while shipping ? Is it risky at all or is it safe?

You are probably ok.
Parts are air shipped all the time domestically.

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D15 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"

I suggest a noctua nh-D15 or phanteks with dual 140mm fans.
Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well

PC's with CLC get shipped all over the world, every single day. Unless you can actually drive to the factory and pick it up, everywhere is 'overseas'.

It will be fine.
