Combat Corps

Yep! I got it all set about a month ago. So far it works like a charm, even though the HDD is a bit noisy 100% of the time when it is idle even (apparently the new generation of WD HDD's have a function to wipe up the needle continuously every several seconds as long as the computer stays on).

Happy Birthday Mr. gt24 Sir!
May you enjoy it with comfort and relaxation!

Indeed, the game Sanctum 2 (and Indie FPS) will be available for free only for the next 43 hours or so, so everyone who is interested should get it redeemed fast while you still can!

Happy Belated Birthday Bardock!
I hope you spent it well with those you cherish.

Yes indeed. Happy Bday to the ghostly one most of us have never talked to.

did i hear somethin about a ghost?

Are you a scary spook??

Wow, Happy Belated Birthday Lash! (if you ever see this thread! XD)

Hi there, long time no see -Andrew-, I'm doing well, just got a new PC.
How have you been?

I actually only found out about SSHD's after I already ordered the new system I mentioned above Bardock, so I might need to conduct some more research into these hybrid drives for a future extension possibility.
Thank you for the tip Bardock!

Sounds like something I could potentially try Lasky. However I'm not keen on creating a separate Volume on a drive for this purpose, depending on how many volumes my new system will come with (if there's too many I won't find it convenient). With that said, if you could explain in detail or point me...

Some very interesting insights, thank you Chem. I do have to note that I'm not sure the timing here for several days is actually realistic though and is a misconception as you can see from this link here: Link From what I read online, consumer grade SSD's should be able to keep data intact when kept...

It says here how to change the download location of Windows updates to a different drive: https://superuser.com/questions/870103/ ... d-location

I guess it is possible then.

Which drive will not show up? Do you mean one of the physical drives will have to be rendered unusable for any other purpose for this to work?

I would like to have Windows updates downloaded into the HDD rather than the SSD, and installed to the OS (in the SSD) from there, but would I need to play with partitions like you said in order for this to happen? Or could I just choose the HDD as the path for the downloads in OS settings for easie...

These are very interesting points in favor of having the OS on a small HDD or a separate small SSD you've given here Chem, thank you for the extra perspective. With that said, after giving this some thought, I think I'd rather keep the OS (in addition to applications) on the main SSD I ordered. I th...

My goodness.. I can't wait to read your impression Red!

Lucky you

@Lasky, yea I can't wait until we get the fiber optics infrastructure laid in our street as well, so we can sign up for super fast internet speeds program as well. Right now we only get up to 80Mbps down speeds and merely 1-3Mbps upload speeds which are way too low for upload speeds imo.

I see, around here both the cable and the phone companies have internet service connection plans as well, however none have tried to data cap home users thus far, since as soon as that happens, that company would probably run out of customers for their Internet plans, since everyone will jump ship p...

Yep, that is pretty much my mindset as well Red, about larger storage of an HDD being more important than extra fast performance of an SSD. I can't tell you how many times I was frustrated when my current system's storage room ran out, and rarely do I recall worrying about loading times in any games...

I think I will keep with my original plan to keep mainly the OS and applications on an SSD and everything else, including games, on an HDD (the Caviar Black one). I think that I don't mind extra loading times for heavy games and servers, since I don't intend on playing High end / texture heavy games...

I guess I could look into getting more RAM in the future if needed in such a setup, since this board supposed to have 4 DIMM slots. Regarding the main OS SSD size, I can't imagine myself using it for anything other than the OS itself and any applications, which at the moment only take up some 8GB of...

It's a good idea, but I don't have an option for 32GB of RAM on this setup due to limitations in the stock of the store chain I'll be buying at. With that said, I did opt to change the RAM to a G.Skill Ripjaws-V model instead which has up to 3000 MHZ of possible clock speeds via XMP profiling, so th...

Yep, I did consider an i5 instead of an i7, however I figured that in the long run a stronger CPU with the extra 4 threads could come in handy in future applications which might use the extra threads it provides, so all in all I wouldn't mind paying an extra 140$ for this potential future proofing. ...

Really? That's awesome! If it is Hosted in Turkey then I will be able to play on it with super low ping if I get the game!

I did consider an AMD based system but unfortunately it has less support and configuration options for parts, at least in my country, so I decided to go with Intel even though it is more expensive in general, just because of the broader options it gives me here in terms of compatibility and variety.

Since from the looks of it I'm finished with my B.A. studies, I thought it might be the time to buy a brand new high end system to replace my aging low end one, and here are the specs I picked and am interested in, for the purpose of General everyday use, web browsing and (of course) Gaming on all p...

What country is the server hosted from?

Hello shiNe!, There are several members who play the game in our clan, in fact you can find a group playing it on our TS server every other day or so.
Be sure to check the Crops TS server here when you wanna play and see if there is any group or individuals online.

Hey there Furr! I'm glad to read you are acclimating well to South Korea, that country sounds amazing from what I know! Around here things are chill and peaceful, although I wouldn't mind a bit of more action and drama sometimes. XD I look forward to chatting and playing again with you when you are ...

Was same time as usually, 4 PM CST on Saturday.
