Been reading a bit, it seems that even 64gb is troublesome\unstable on this platform (also goes for AMD?)

I’d like to go higher than that in my next 3D\creator oriented build, 128 or even higher if possible (been seeing some BIOS updates that allegedly allow up to 196 or even 256gb on some boards?) so I can avoid threadripper build cost.

Is it a real issue and how would you go about building a max RAM-loaded workstation in 2023\2024?

Currently rocking ancient i7-5820k with 64gb ram and it feels a bit tight on the ram side when doing Houdini simulations and even some renders.

    Theres some people running Micron B rev configs in either 2x32 or 4x16 which can still do 4300-4400 G1. 4xDR compatibility is also listed at 4400 on current DDR4 mobos.

    The problem is that ram went EOL like 3 years ago and you can only get it second hand now. I totally screwed up by not getting 4x16 when it went on EOL sale.

    This is actually a lot better for 128 Gb than 4800 DDR5 G2.
