Looking for some PC advice:
Last night my PC hard-rebooted while I was playing Starfield for the first time since the big performance patch. Wasn't sure why, but I suspect the CPU or GPU overheated due to load, as my PC tower was quite a bit hotter than normal to the touch in the aftermath.

I'm trying to diagnose the issue by running the game again with some performance monitors on to see if I can turn down settings, cap framerate, or do other things to not have that happen again, but different monitors seem to be giving me different readouts.

The statistics readout from the Xbox Game Bar overlay and the one Nvidia's software can put up give me relatively reasonable numbers for what I'd expect out of my hardware trying to run starfield (Core i7-9700F + RTX 3070 + 32GB RAM), but meanwhile the corsair icue software's sensors seem to paint a more dire picture, with high CPU temps and 90%-100% CPU load.

I'm not sure which to believe. Given the crash and the relative heat my PC starts to spit out when I run starfield, I'm sort of inclined to assume icue is being more truthful, but on the other hand, its readings don't update in real-time when I'm playing the game, only when I tab out to check the window, so that could be a problem as well.



Happy to announce Zelda is the protagonist.

...okay YES it's like 30 years too late and YES the core mechanic is summoning stronger things to fight for you and not fighting them directly yourself (because you're a girl and a girl would never fight someone) and YES it's with a cutesy and completely infantilizing aesthetic but come ON what do you people WANT from us
