Hi,

Following on as mentioned above and in the video.

  • If possible use the original case packaging for the case and all the components that can stay inside.
  • It is reccomended to take out the video card and if possible also put it back in the original packaging.
  • When putting packing material inside make sure it's stuff that won't go everywhere like loosefill (should be common sense) use bubble wrap or other similar material.

Good Luck!

Thanks :)

Hey Guys,

 

I have a friend who is moving from AUS to USA and wants to take his PC with him to USA. What would be the best way to have it transported there? having it assembled and just having foam around the GPU and CPU cooler so it wont move wold that be enough ? Or should we disassemble everything and then ship it? he does not have the static safe bag and that is what is concerning me a bit here. He currently has a AIO cooler but has just recently got the Hyper 212X Evo, Which he might return since he is moving and has not yet installed it. 

 

Thanks for the help in advance guys :)

Cool. Thanks. So deff will remove the GPU for shipping but with the cpu cooler since its a Hyper 212X evo and is quite light is it ok to leave it connected or should we remove that as well and re attach it once he settles in ?

Since its a tower style, if you pack it in good with something like bubble wrap and secure around it, I think it would be ok to stay on imo.

I had the same PC shipped twice.I (stupidly) didn't pack it myself either time. They packed it complete both times with no packing material inside the PC, and the second time I did have a GPU die from the move.
