How on earth are you gonna transport that without sending off enough alarms to make an air raid look tame?

Hopefully X-ray operators will go easy on me 😂

You could ship the completed build... Properly packaged, to where you are going instead of packing it

Had thought of it, but after some incidents with friends similar occasions I didn’t want to take the risk. Honestly I would be too worried for that little potato

if you're going to transport everything like this, I think you can mount cpu and cooler on the mobo, those poor pin might not survive the ride

I will transport the cpu on my jacket pocket or a side bag, hoping for the best result. Having the whole mobo in one piece had me worrying cause if something stressful happens to my backpack , bb mobo

Judging by the cooler and the mobo your cpu is amd. I feel bad for the pins on it

2
ChrishatzOP•

Aah yeah.. a very old sucky amd A8600 something.

I tried to be as gentle as I could and will carry it very carefully with me on my pocket or a side bag. Haven’t decided yet, but until I get the new build in a few months I just need it to stay with me 😂

I switched from an fm2 system recently those apus weren't that bad tbh as long as you had a gpu

ChrishatzOP•

Yeah true it ain’t half that bad, but on the other side is a low budget pc as well, so on a different price range might have been not good enough? I don’t know, but I am pretty happy with it. Cpu is the most major problem atm with this build which is why is the only part that I am going to upgrade pretty straight forward until I do a fresh build in a 2-3 months

You.. could have.. left the.. cpu... in the.... motherboard
