It is not about being "brave" but about being
informed. As of 2018 you can probably call "brave"
everyone who uses any modern computer. However this
machine was purchased in 2012. Consider what was known
then and what is known now. The motherboard ASUS
P8Z77-V does not support ECC memory. Still we needed
and paid for 32GB of RAM, not for 31.5.
