    Alan Wake 2 - snooze fest?

    I know PCG review is still due, but just wanted to throw my current experience out there as I bought this game based on the glowing critic reviews. Worth noting that I haven't played the first game. About 6 hours deep and pretty bored. It is almost a walking sim, which I really don't mind if...

    And is that under load, because some card fans are idle until needed... If so, at least you've found the issue!

    Question Kraken X53 - Fans keep reving up and down, please help!

    Thanks for getting back. This 'hysteresis ' sounds like exactly what I need... however it doesn't appear to be in the latest version of the CAM software. I've googled and others have been asking for it. Someone said a dev told them it was coming in a future update but that was 10+ months ago...

    Question Need advice from experienced PC gamers

    Interesting issue! Definitely sounds fixable. I would do the following (includes suggestions from above) - Check the inside of case for anything that could be over heating. If you cleaned as soon as 2 months ago this shouldn't be the issue, but make sure any coolers, air or water, are firmly...

    Question Kraken X53 - Fans keep reving up and down, please help!

    Recently installed Kraken X53 with a new i9-9900K. The fans keep revving up and down when doing even the most basic task like opening a browser. The fan's aren't loud, and the CPU generally sits around mid-30's. But I'm an OCD character and the constant fluctuation is driving me nuts. Anyone...

    Will my Corsair RM650x work for 3080?

    All excellent news aside from the fact I sold my 2080ti and, of course, utterly failed to score a 3080... so now I have no GPU :D Thanks for all the info. Still helps when i'm back in GPU ownership!

    Will my Corsair RM650x work for 3080?

    Awesome. Thanks for the info. Do you expect I would bottleneck with my CPU going forward? I play 4k 60fps... had no issues when paired with 2080ti

    Question Anyone playing Alyx on Oculus Rift S?

    Thanks for this. I'm going to wait for newer headsets before I give Alyx a try, but glad to hear it's a solid experience on the ORS!

    Will my Corsair RM650x work for 3080?

    Thanks. I've been checking reviews... still hard to say. But I already sold my 2080ti so I guess i'm committed either way! Fingers crossed the 650 will make do for now

    Will my Corsair RM650x work for 3080?

    Rig is Corsair RM650x (80 plus gold), 16gb RAM, i5 8400... Currently powers a 2080ti with no issues. Marketing for 3080 says you need a 750w psu minimum, with a vague disclaimer that in some cases a lower wattage may still work. Anyone happen to have any insight? Thanks

    Giveaway Win a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 Edition graphics card from PC Gamer and GOG.COM!

    I intend to surrender myself so completely to the seedy neon allure of Night City, that I don't know where my real-world pasty freckled shoulder begins and my augmented cyberpunk cyber-fingers end.

    Question Mid-Week Question: What game do you love that you think has been overlooked?

    Heroes of the Storm... Gets some attention but not enough for such an accessible and beautifully constructed game. The matchmaking can sometimes be imbalanced but mostly the rounds are thrilling. Deserves way more cred.
