Moving, what to do with fluid?

[murah]

So i'll be moving in about two weeks, only up north same country but bit of a pickle what I should do with the fluid.

The PC will be strapped into the seat next to me in the car so I'm inclined to just take the GPU out as you normally would and leave it but should I drain the fluid?

And on another note if I should drain the fluid is it okay to reuse once my baby is in her new home or should I buy fresh?

Thanks

You don't need to drain your rig or remove gpu whilst moving your PC especially if it's with you and not in the back of a van, once it's in it's new place just run the pc with the cap unscrewed slightly for a few hours and it'll settle and bleed itself again.

I drained mine when I last moved but that was 400 miles, I often move it locally just in the car, as already already said just let it bleed for a bit when it gets there

I move my PC all the time, never drained it yet, i just either wedge it into the boot so it cant tip over or stick it on the seat with the belt on it. As long as you attached everything securely when you built it, it will be fine. If you think its gonna be a bumpy drive you might be best finding a cardboard box and jamming it in under the GPU so it doesnt bounce around. I use flexible pipes though, dont know if hardline has an issue with bumping around and vibrations etc.

I would not drain, but for peace of mind I would put something to support the gpus and remove any other "heavy" cards and before turning on the system I would make sure that the memory modules are in place.
