Why? What could you possibly be doing that would ever require 128GB of RAM?

Asus rampage v extreme that’s what I got and updated to latest bios.

 

i not sure, I been working on after effects for 2 years, I don’t know if more ram can benefit ae rendering time. I have this system for 4 yrs and I m at a stage want to upgrade whatever to a point it last another 2/4yrs. I personally do not know if more ram will help video rendering.

Not really, unless your renders are using up all your ram, which you can check in task manager. If you already use quad channel then it's probably as good as it gets.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
