The only psu I have is in my new pc (Corsair RM650 Watt). Can I just unplug the 8 pin CPU and 24 pin ATX Mobo...

    Question Far Cry 6 on PC - Wing suit and vehicle repair bar questions.

    Repair bar sorted - I had turned stuff off in the HUD in an effort to make the game more difficult - its the easiest Far Cry game I've played with hardly any really challenging missions . 18% into the game, I hope it gets better. Wing suit - I try it out if I can take off from a really high...
