Effects Of Cold Weather On CPU, Memory?

[dragonborn123]

I'll start by saying it's been bitterly cold here for the last week (low has been <10 degrees), and I had a bit of an oversight and didn't notice that my CPU and memory were delivered yesterday afternoon and left on my porch (no knock, unfortunately). I eventually found them this morning, but I'm wondering if there's any potential for damage. I haven't used either, just let them gradually warm up.

So did I just destroy any components of my computer? Thoughts?

10C is far different than 10F

But visualize this:

Through the fab plant in late October
Out to the port in Bejhing in early November
Sitting for a day or two
On a ship
Across the north Pacific
To the port at Long Beach
On a truck
Across the Great Plains during a late November snowstorm
To the warehouse
Sitting for a day or two
In the delivery truck
Riding around all day in 10 degree weather
Delivered to your door

Now change this to a February delivery to northern Finland.

It will be fine.

Sorry, forget that this is primarily a British forum, I meant 10F. Though I guessed it wouldn't be a big issue, I thought I'd post as a precaution. But thanks for setting my mind at ease, that's all I was really after.

Not primarily British. I'm sitting here in coastal Virgina. It will be ~75F tomorrow.

But yes.. your stuff will be fine.
