I have to move my computer every weekend and currently have been doing it for about a year.

If I water cool my cpu and gpu, both with prebuilt water blocks like the h100i, would I be able to safely move it? In addition, how much weight would be added? Thanks guys

H100 weighs like 5 pounds, at most. Unless your case is flimsy you shouldn't have a problem. The closed loop systems are considerably less prone to damage from rough treatment than a high end custom system. Just don't drop it or use it as a door stop, you'll be fine.

If it bursts ( from cold, maybe) your unpowered components get wet. As far as I know the liquid inside the loop in just water. Its not corrosive. Be sure to disassemble and dry everything off carefully before you turn it back on. ...And of course replace the cpu cooler! Sorry for the dupe post. You guys are quick.
