    I agree. I quit using 3rd party AV a couple of years ago.

    For about $40, it's a pretty good deal, IMO.

    Question RAM upgrade recommendation

    This would be a better choice and is right there on the newegg link you posted. With memory channels used, less is often more: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-ripjaws-v-series-64gb-ddr4-3200-cas-latency-cl16-desktop-memory-black/p/N82E16820232943

    Question 2x32gb or 2x 48 gb? Gaming rig. OR 128GB CL34?

    ^^I thought you were getting 48 GB sticks instead of 32. The forums did something strange right after you posted this last night. Even the emails I got about watched threads was missing its normal formatting.

    I've been a fan of Thermalright ever since the TRUE 120.

    I might try it. Says it has one more heat pipe than the PA, nearly the same price. In the near future, I'm going to replace 3 cheaper (quality) heatsinks so maybe they end up being PS instead....

    Question What kind of motherboards do you like?

    I still have one of that model Asus board. I'm not using it, but it does still work. Excellent board.
