Is it okay for parts to be left out in the heat?

[minimalist]

I just moved to AZ and want to order all of my parts. If my parts are left outside in 105-110 degree heat will that cause an issue?

Why are they going to be left outside?

[Jade]

Nope, it shouldn't.

Delivery?

It shouldn't, as long as they aren't put in water or whatever.

I think packaging will prevent them from getting too hot and most parts are rated for at least 65-70c so it should be ok.

I live in AZ, it hits 120* where I and I have never had  a problem with the parts if they are left out on the porch for 2-3 hours. But before I do use them I let them cool off in the house.

should be fine considering the parts will idle close to that temperature. (gpu+cpu anyway). so no harm!

And this is the reason why it's fine.

Hell, you could probably leave them in 200f, as long as they're not powered it's fine.

At 120f you wouldn't need to cool it before building either, so feel free to slap it in when you get home.

Thanks guys!!! I was worried about that. Now I'm worried about someone stealing 2k worth of parts outside.

Then that's the sellers fault and you should get them to replace the parts.

They require a signature which makes sense. I didn't know that when I made my comment
