Yes, it lit up. Conflagration. Fire fire.

It was quite the spectacle. It also scared me silly.

I was playing Microsoft Flight Sim on max settings in VR (Quest 3). I mean that's why I bought this rig. I made no mods to it, no overlocking – nothing.

So now I'm concerned if all RTX 50 series are inherently unsafe. Perhaps I should stick with a derated 5060?

It's going back to BestBuy tomorrow.

    Hello iiifly, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

    While you were in VR is crazy! Did you just take of the goggles and see the for?

  3. This doesn’t make me feel good. All I’ve been seeing on my feed is bad things about the 50 series

    A generation to skip
