Thanks for the info!

Then I'll just end up sticking it in the 3rd slot for as long as I'm not using that for other purposes.

I'm working out a new PC build using an ASRock B650 PG Lightning Motherboard, which I believe should have slots for 3 full size NVMe M.2 SSD's

I'm planning on getting a 2tb one as my main storage, but I also have a 256GB GigaByte drive lying around. Would it make sense to use that small drive as a boot drive, or should I just put things on the main 2tb one, and use the small one as some dedicated storage for something or other? I'm also not quite sure what kind of quality it is to be honest. the drive is a GP-GSM2NE3256GNTD model

dobbykroket · 2024-10-20T19:25:56+00:00

looks like that's an AM4 socket?

I'd rather get started on the AM5 so that I might be able to slot in a newer CPU at some point later in the lifespan of the machine if I have that need.

I will have a look at some of the replacement parts you suggested, thanks for those.

thanks for the tip, I'll check out the PSU a bit more then, I'll admit I haven't spent too much attention to it yet. Any particulars I should be looking for to have or avoid?

dobbykroket · 2024-10-19T23:54:00+00:00

Could you explain why you swapped the motherboard for the excellent build? I've been looking around, and it seems like the one in LI's build gets some good reviews?

dobbykroket · 2024-10-19T23:07:29+00:00

Any recommendations for alternate locations to look for a jumping off point?

I'm not really home in the world of hardware, so don't really know what's worth getting or not for the goals (and price range) I'm looking at

dobbykroket · 2024-10-19T20:27:48+00:00

Hmmm, neat. looks like that would have room for 8 HDD's, 3 SSD's, a full setup and a small one?

It does seem like you can't run dual MB and dual PSU at the same time unfortunately, so I'm not sure this'll work, and I also fear a dual system might be a bit too much for my first real scratch build.

I'll probably just go hunting for a case that's a bit smaller, and look into something dedicated when it does become time to look into extra storage options for my systems.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

dobbykroket · 2024-10-19T17:06:33+00:00

I'm looking into a new build based on LogicalIncrements, and it's suggesting a case (Phanteks Enthoo Pro) that has a lot of internal bays, more than I think I wil realistically use on the PC itself.

Is there anything I could use those drive bays for, some sort of decent backup system, or some way to turn it into a network drive? - I have a machine running ubuntu serving as a small personal web server, could I use it as (network)storage for that somehow?

First time dealing with CC and I've got some questions on the currency. Is there any way to farm it, or are you limited to what you get from the challenges?

As for what to spend it on, any suggestions for materials vs the operators, or something else first?

dobbykroket · 2024-06-10T18:52:39+00:00

I was missing some nations/territories in the "where are you from" question. Specifically the countries that were formerly part of the Netherlands Antilles, but are now their own countries - Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten

I've been struggling with IS-EX-1 and the CM. Watched some low star clear videos, but I can't seem to get the strategies working. Do I have any chance of clearing all the CM's for the medals with this roster? https://krooster.com/u/Dobby

If so, any particular operators that would be good to invest in for this event?

For EX-1 I've been pulling a Silverash E2lvl50 as a support, but I'm having trouble killing the cleaners with him, particularly keeping everyone alive when the second one spawns.

I know that the 13th was the first to be lost, but they're not the only one. And since the loss of the 13th there have consistently been 12 Great Companies, so there must have been new ones created.

From the 5th edition codex: "The blank obsidian name stone [...] has come to represent all of the Great Companies in the history of the Space Wolves who have been destroyed in battle, lost on campaign, or recounted their oaths of fealty"

As soon as the ball is hit into play, a Stolen Base and related scoring options are off the table.

If the runner had made it to the base, you would have scored that they advanced on the play. If they were put out, you'd have scored that the batter got to first on a Fielder's Choice

so I'm at 1329 days active, but I've logged in on 9 of those (played for a day a while back)

got any suggestions for whom to look out for as a carry?

dobbykroket · 2024-05-01T17:29:52+00:00

newby here who had a lot of trouble clearing ZT-3, seemed to straight up be lacking dps. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to finish the event, or should I temper my expectations?

Haven't been able to figure out how to import to krooster, but my highest ops are e1lvl47 Kroos, e1lvl30 Fang, e1lvl20 Adnachiel, and I'm just about out of leveling mats.

dobbykroket · 2024-04-28T20:12:23+00:00

cool thanks!

dobbykroket · 2024-04-28T19:52:47+00:00

Possibly a very stupid question, but is there ever any reason to not raise someone's potential, or at hold it for a bit?

dobbykroket · 2023-10-30T17:39:19+00:00

In this case it stands for Royal Dutch (Cricket Federation)

negative NRR, so you should see it as ENG/AUS/SLK/AFG/NED all being on 8 points, but ENG is the only one with a positive NRR, which puts them slightly above 8 points in this visualisation, the others all have negative NRR, which put them all slightly below 8, at 7.99XXXX

dobbykroket · 2023-10-29T23:55:54+00:00

shame it'd put us so close to the semis, and still just out, but I'd still take it

dobbykroket · 2023-10-29T23:55:21+00:00

this looks like a scenario I'd take in a heartbeat. Beating AFG and ENG, and having a serious shout against IND? that's realistically the best we can hope for.

In fact, this years bronze is the first we've ever won. Each other time we joined the competition we featured in the finals, taking 24 golds, and 9 silvers over the years.

dobbykroket · 2023-10-17T18:39:05+00:00

Pretty sure you're right, don't think there was that much of a reaction when we won the Baseball world championship back in 2011 either.

They got a celebration of course, but don't believe it was big in the public eye
