Yeah, with that kind of markup you might as well just buy new ones IF they break, or just spend the extra budget on better quality parts. Just having to pick a very specific motherboard that probably is very much not optimal for your build will blow the costs up even more, and for what gain?

I've been building my own gaming and productivity rigs for 20 years and I don't think memory has ever been a problem. Maybe survivorship bias, but surely even budget parts aren't THIS bad.

Assuming you can tell, and assuming you don't end up silently corrupting your data before then.

You take backups and do checksums for the valuable data. For the rest, who cares...

Let's say you corrupted one bit in a blender asset 200 revisions ago and it was unnoticeable and still upgraded through five blender upgrades, but now on the sixth upgrade it fails with a corruption error and doesn't upgrade.

Without knowing how to fix that error you've lost 200 revisions of work. You can go back and find which revision had the problem, go before that, and upgrade it to the latest blender, but all your 200 revisions were made on other versions that you can't backport.
