Anti Static Bags for GPU's

Gilbert89 · 12 Feb 2015 at 20:54

Wasn't 100% sure where to post this but since it involves a GPU I thought what the hell

Sending my MSI 970 GTX back to OcUK tomorrow but here is the dilemma I had my system pre built and I didn't receive an anti static bag within the box therefore I am having to use my newly purchased 290X anti static bag to ship the 970 in. Problem is whenever I come to shift this 290 or RMA it (hopefully not) ill be in the same situation. After looking online I can't seem to find anything close to the size what a modern GPU would require.

Would it be worth asking OcUK if they have spares to donate or purchase at all?

Not sure if a competitor can be mentioned due to OcUK not stocking anti static bags suppose it would be a very niche market

Any idea's as to where I could find suitable bags from?

I believe I have some in my tool box at work, I can get it sent free of charge if I do have them still

If you need any for future use, you could try in the members market here. Im sure someone will have a few spare.

That would be fantastic!

Very generous also. I'd feel obliged to send you enough to buy yourself a pint at the weekend for the trouble!

Just let me know

If Watling doesn't have any, drop me a trust. I've got a few if you need one.

Could use one myself as can't find the bag for one of my cards, eventually it will get sold on, thanks!

Do msi use anti static bags still? Thought they'd just gone down the AS foam packing route?

If OcUK do have stock of these what are the chances of them being listed in the shop?

I'd happily pay a couple of quid for an anti static bag

My card from EVGA never came in a anti static bag and it was brand new. Didn't know they were still doing them

I assume they do so as my 290X from MSI came with an anti static bag and after looking around the internet both my 290X and 970 GTX came in the grey foam which I believe isn't anti static.

Thank you ALL for your kind offers, Watling is kindly sending me some across, Trust has been sent mate.

But don't be surprised if one day I track you all down for some anti static bags!

my EVGA 970 didn't come in one either, it had protected covers on the PCI slot and all the ports on the back but then just sat inside a huge plastic case the same size of the box
