Trying to pick specific DDR4...

OK.... you are basically validating the conclusion I had come to... 3200 C14 seems to be the best balance... And 32GB... maxed out. Thanks!

Is Raid 0 worth it for NVMe M.2 SSD?

Where a 2x NVMe RAID 0 would come in handy is when you have the option for 3 or 4 NVMe drives in your system... If you make the BOOT/OS dirve NVMe or RAID ) NVMe, and then add a RAID 0 NVMe array for data, you would have a balanced boot/app/data approach that could actually take advantage of...

Don't have a "Not to exceed" number.... Cost falls below 1) making sure I don't regret the choice and thus buying a whole new set of DDR4, and 2) not being the bottleneck in performance, 3) meets performance expectations.... additinonal stuff... x) Not so danged expensive that I get murdered by...

Displays/Monitors with EXTERNAL power supplies

Thanks! I thought external supplies were extinct, but it appears that both HP and ASUS make lots of them. I'll likely grab a pair of the ASUS ones.... they have many choices... depends on what you want to pay. ;)

I am looking for current gen monitors/displays that use external power supplies. For my purposes, I need to eliminate switching power supplies from all sources when/if possible. I can substitute a linear supply at whatever the required supply voltage is... 12, 19vdc, et al. Also need them to...

Thermal pads or something else for AMDs?

Primarily, the reason AMD uses the phase change material is 1) It's easy to appply in an automated process, and 2) The material acts as a little protective cushion when you install it the first time... With that exposed and very brittle core, you can crack a corner/edge off in a heartbeat, if...
