Where can I store my GPU

JayK4y
Go to solution Solved by DoubleY,

In the case it came from. It should usually come with an Anti-Static bag and some protective foam. Unless you don't have the original box anymore... 

I just got myself a new gpu and I need to store the other somewhere remotely safe so I can then sell it over to a friend. Where is the best place to put my old Gpu without the risk of damage?

An anti--static bag and some protective foam around that would be ideal.

Or use the box that the new one came in. You wont be needing it while you're using the new card unless you're doing something very wrong. :P Plus, it gives you a use for hanging on to the new card's box in case you need to RMA.

I dunno, man. The front bezel of an ACX cooler would make a decent cup holder. :P

Just original box or pretty much anything that protects it from getting scratched.

 

You do not really need an anti-static bag for storing the gpu unless you keep constantly rubbing your hands on its pcb.
