GPU WIR looking for advice (have researched) 04-13-2023, 11:45 AM
#1
Okay, so I'm thinking about doing WIR with an rtx 4070 ti from amz. I've tried to find weight and amz lists it as 4.95 pounds. I found a cpu cooler for 4.85 pounds(also according to amz). Dimensions are pretty similar. The only concern is other sources list the gpu weight anywhere from 1.8lb to 5lb. 2 other sources confirm the 4.95, however an in depth benchmarking/reviewing site listed the gpu as slightly lower at 3.3. I'm assuming they weighed only the gpu and that doesn't account for the power cables/gpu box, but 1.5lb of power cables/gpu box does sound a bit much.
Also I was gonna have my friend order gpu to an amz locker and then I order the cpu cooler to a closeby but different amz locker. The reason I was going to do this is because our addresses are about 15 mi apart and my acc/addy is flagged i'm pretty sure from previous SEs, but my friend's acc/addy is clean(never SEd amz). I imagine the gpu going to his acc/addy is less suspicious. I was trying to find 2 different lockers nearby that I could use and I noticed the package is too big for most lockers and I will have to go to a hub counter+ instead. In this case would it be better to have my friend order gpu to his residential addy and I order cooler to the counter hub near his addy? I imagine both items going to the same counter hub is not ideal.
If anyone has any advice or sees something I may have missed please let me know. I am trying to cover all bases here.
