Maybe a dumb question

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Ok, i just ordered a new video card, My question may be dumb idk, But I know they heat up extremely fast, and where I live at, it is extremely cold, would it be wise to let it sit for a few hours and get to room temperature before running it, or is it safe to plug in and go ?

Best solution

Don't listen to those guys. If your card arrives and it is cold out, you should let it sit for a couple of hours. Condensation can build up as the card unfreezes, so it is a good idea to let it get up to room temperature. ;)

Its about 5 degrees out where I live and the card is set to arrive tomorrow, I think I will agree with the above 2 responses and let it warm to room temperature before placing it in my rig
