Question Stuffing silica gel sachets inside protective bags of GPUs and case fans

[hishara1999]

Hello everyone, I have to store some of my pc parts for long-term due to personal reasons. So I'd like to know is it safe to keep 1-2 packets of silica gel inside protective bags of GPUs and case fans while they are stored. I hope to put 1g or 5g sachets inside protective bags, then store them in original boxes, in my steel closet. Doing this to protect them from humidity, as rainy weather is more frequent in our region. But I'm a little worried about fan bearings though, can these gel sachets dry them out by absorbing the lubricant?

Parts I have to store (in their original boxes):
6x Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 140 Reverse case fans
9x Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 case fans
1x Zotac RTX 3080 12GB Trinity OC GPU

I know fan bearings come sealed and this sounds silly, but I just want to clear my head off this. Any ideas are welcome.

What is "long term"?

Where are you located?

How long will you be leaving them as is?

You should be fine to store them in the bag though if I were you, I'd have placed them back into their original packaging with one small packet of silica gel.

the packet enclosures permit air exchange which passively dries air by absorbing water. no water should be present in the fan bearing lubricant so you would be fine.
