    Help on motherboard/cpu recommendations for new PC

    That's extremely likely that it means that's for the entire system, not the card. The 2080ti higher end cards run at 280w (before/if you overclock it), and suggest a 650w power supply. That 3090 is rather large though, but it's also essentially the Titan of the lineup, and it's architecture is...

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the graphics cards you love!

    Ultra + Raytracing on is hard for even a 2080 ti at respectable levels. You can probably do "high" at 1440p pretty easy though, without the raytracing.

    Question Either GPU or AIO leaking fluid.

    It was the AIO, which is pretty rare. In the bottom photo there, the plug where they fill the reservoir during manufacturing had a slow leak, which was dripping slowly. Unfortunately, onto the fans below, which was a mess. In my previous PC (This one is brand new) I had essentially the same...

    Question Either GPU or AIO leaking fluid.

    Hey, all. So, the other day, noticed some liquid residue on the inside of my case. (Corsair Crystal 280x, so side is glass.) Opened it up to clean it, and some fluid has spattered quite a bit due to hitting one or two of the fans. Cleaned it up with alcohol with no issue, but of course it's a...

    Question Problem with newly built system

    You can get a splitter for it, or a hub which you plug into the RGB header, then plug all your RGB stuff into that.

    Help me decide what motherboard to buy [R5 3600] [550 mATX]

    I just built a new PC and got the Asus TUF B550M-Plus (Wi-fi). I'm pretty happy with it, and got it for around $150 iirc. It's not overly flashy and gets the job done.

    Help pricing my old PC.

    Hi there! I just finished upgrading to a new build, and the only things I've kept from my old build were my GPU and one of my SSD's. I was going to put my PC on Craigslist or Ebay, but wanted to see what people thought was a reasonable price. I was guessing $500-600, but I don't know. Here's the...

    What was the first video game you remember playing?

    Probably Pong, Defender, or Pitfall. I played Munchman, a knockoff Pac-Man, too. We didn't have a hard drive or anything, so you'd have to code in everything each time you wanted to play it.

    Question For sale - CRT TV - can I list?

    Tom's Hardware has a classified area on their forums. It seemed pretty PC specific, but you never know.

    Giveaway Win a Lenovo Legion Monitor, keyboard, mouse and more from PC Gamer!

    World of Warcraft, for me. My brother had been playing it, and it looked amazing. So, I bought what I thought at the time to be a nice laptop (It was terrible) and started playing. I played WoW in higher end raiding guilds for years before burning out. Building a nice PC eventually, it was great...

    Which Assassins Creed?

    Odyssey is pretty fun. Reminds me a bit of Witcher 3 for some reason. Previous to that, I'd only played Black Flag, which didn't hold my interest.

    Question Which Marvel or DC character deserves a standalone video game?

    A Blade game could be interesting. Everyone loves killing vampires. I tend to like more obscure heroes, like Moon Knight or The Shroud. Those could be cool games if done right. Ghost Rider as stated could be a cool choice, switching between driving mechanics and fighting. A Damage Control game...

    Need help with someone familiar with Corsair RGB

    Thanks for the reply! So, the case will have the 2xLL120's, and I ordered a seperate two pack of 2xLL140's. That will give me two lighting nodes, if I happen to need them. The Corsair H100i RGB Platinum includes 2xML PRO 120mm fans with the AIO. So, I'd just have to hook up the AIO to a...

    Need help with someone familiar with Corsair RGB

    Hello, all. I have a Corsair Crystal 280x on the way for a new build. I’ve already received the Corsair RGB H100i Platinum AIO I’m going to install in it as well. I was debating getting two other fans or so as well for the bottom, etc, but didn’t know if the Lighting Node PRO that comes with it...

    Question MMO mouse with more buttons than Logitech g600

    When I played Wow and raided religiously, I just used the shift modifier to double the actions of what my mouse could do. I used the Razer Naga Trinity, but the g600 looks similar. That's like 24+ actions using the shift key and mouse buttons. That's not counting 1-5, shift 1-5, and regular...
