PCGamesN Wednesday, September 11, 2024 7:58 AM  MSI has unveiled a new lineup of X870 and X870E AMD motherboard options, which include an extra eight-pin PCIe power connector on the board, boosting the overall ability of the board to power your GPU, CPU, fans, and other components all at the same time. You'll still need extra power connectors to plug directly into your GPU, but these new boards should in theory cope better with the extreme power requirements of top-tier systems. While this new MSI feature certainly isn't going to be an essential one for the best gaming motherboards, it's one you might want to consider if you're combining some of the most power-hungry components in one system and are considering overclocking them too.

PCGamesN Wednesday, September 11, 2024 7:11 AM  11/09/2024 The Riot support page for finding money spent is still showing as 'under construction'. We will update this page once it is back up and running. Fortunately, there is an alternative Riot support ticket method that only takes a couple of extra clicks - a method we've also outlined below. How do you see how much you have spent on League of Legends? Riot Games' hugely successful MOBA is technically a free game, but if you ask any avid fan if that's the case, you'll no doubt receive a wry laugh in response. The champion pool is diverse and wonderful; each character can be purchased with currency earned while playing. Premium cosmetics, however, are bought with real-world money. These League of Legends skins and other cosmetics can be purchased directly using an in-game currency called RP. RP itself, though, must be purchased with your hard-earned cash. LoL skins change the base look of the character you're playing, with premium cosmetics adding new effects, voice lines, and animations. Then there's the battle pass that can be bought using RP, too. So, while League of Legends is technically one of the best free PC games around, you can see just how easily it can sway you into parting with your money. This guide will give you the information needed to find out exactly how much you've spent in League of Legends - you just might not like the answer when you get it.

The outfits system was introduced in the Genshin Impact 1.6 update, following months of pleading from the community. These outfits give you the chance to dress your favourite characters in brand-new clothes. As Genshin Impact characters are locked behind gacha mechanics in the free PC game, players were initially worried that skins may be sold using the same system. However, there are actually two methods to unlock skins: purchase the skin for 1,680 Genesis Crystals, or complete specific Genshin Impact events to unlock the skin for free. If you're unlucky enough to miss the event, free skins will make their way to the Character Outfit Shop in the future.

This might seem unreasonable if you're not into modding, but the price of updating a game is often that you break any mods designed for it.

Then in April, they tow-trucked the game out of people's libraries and revoked their purchases. This led to a backlash, as you'd expect, and Ubisoft are accordingly taking a different approach with The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.
