I have reinstalled windows and am attempting to reinstall MSI afterburner to track my temperatures, but after extraction I only receive a .rar file that my computer cannot open. I understand I'm getting the correct download from the site.

I downloaded it myself, but I also need to extract another .rar file. After extraction, the installer should be inside, and there are two files in total. Installing WinRAR will simplify the process.

The .rar file is a compressed archive, and you must unpack its contents to run the program.

A .rar file is a compressed file, you must extract its contents to run the program. I tried and I'm still receiving a .rar file.

After downloading it myself, there is another .rar file that you have to extract as well, then the installer should be in there after extracting 2 files apparently.
Install WinRAR to make your life easier.
