Hello. I intend on purchasing a high end blower style GPU, maybe an EVGA 1080. I'm going to use it in an SFF build, in an NCase M1, and take the whole pc with me in my carry on when I leave the U.S. I was looking at the specs of the EVGA 1080 blower style card and saw that it uses a vapour chamber, that means there will be a small amount of liquid sealed inside it. I can't seem to find any information online on how much. Has anyone had any problems taking a pc with a vapour chamber GPU through airport security?
I thought of packing it in my check in bag, but its expensive so I'd have to find some way of locking it up, and I'd have to put it in an anti static bag which I read blocks x rays. I don't want security taking out my expensive GPU to check on it.
As an aside, should I dismantle my pc when travelling? It's an Ncase M1 so its tiny and fits in my carry on which is well padded. I'm going to brace the cpu cooler with fishing line or equivalently strong thread, to take the weight off the motherboard, and brace the GPU as well to stop any vibrations.
