[SOLVED] - Transportation of pc

Hey there I was looking to bring my pc to my mom's I was thinking of putting bubble wrap on side so the glass and gpu/cuddly get destroyed. Would bubble wrap damage it more or any other ideas on what to do

I can't see how static would be an issue.
You're overthinking this.

Just secure it from moving around. Don’t worry about static

okay and one more question witch I am pretty sure i know the answer to is cold a problem?

If this has a heavy GPU and HDD inside I would remove and take precaution with them. Would consider if action is needed for large tower cooler, if equipped.

If it's really cold out just be sure to allow the device to sit in the warm area several hours before you turn it on. It will condense humidity while it's cold in a warm place (just like a drinking cup) and will need time to come up to temp and dry.

On the back of a snowmobile in the Antarctic winter, yes, that might be a problem.

In your car, or the trunk of your car?
I wouldn't leave it in the trunk overnight in a Minnesota winter, but No.
If it is comfortable for you, it is comfortable for the PC.

When PC's are shipped by boat from China to Canada, in the middle of the winter...do you think they are in warm cozy heated boxes?



Let it come up to room temperature before you power it up.

thank you for answering with no sarcasm . I have a 2060 do you think i should still remove it and i have just the basic amd cpu cooler that comes with the processor

I would not be concerned about the AMD cooler.
A 2060 probably isn't heavy enough to worry about unless your roads are just terrible. Just the same, if you are familiar with how and have it's box, it couldn't hurt not to have that weight wiggling around on your PCI-e slot.

It is only a 20min drive so i think is should be okay just wanted to make sure
