since i live in Arizona, packages get extremely hot. Like when my CPU cooler arrived, i couldn't even touch it because it was so hot. So can components like the CPU or SSD die? my 8 gigs of HyperX Fury ram is coming in tomorrow, and i dont want it to die

It should be fine, even if your ambient temperature is 100F. As long as your PC has proper airflow, and you have a proper cooling setup, you're fine. As an example, my video card idles at 60c (no fans on) and that's already way above 100F. (140F) I can turn the fans on and cool it down just fine, but it's designed to be able to do this, so I don't worry.

CPU and RAM can both take quite a bit of heat before anything bad happens, SSD might pose an issue However, the CPU cooler makes sense since it's a giant thermal conductor so I doubt you'd see any problems from the rest.

no thats not what i mean. someway to explain this:

 

So my 8 gigs of HyperX Fury Ram is coming in tomorrow, but the package that contains the ram is super hot, so it heats up the ram. Is it possible that it can die with lets say.. an SSD?

How about the PSU and GPU?

No.

 

To generate enough heat to potentially kill any component, within any packaging, it would have to be closer to 160F, if not higher. Your packages probably aren't more than 110F when they arrive.

Depends on how they pack it too actually and how long its been in transport.

Shouldn't be an issue it's better than having it below zero when you get liquid cooling components and fluids though  :P
