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.

    i’m using 192gb across 4 sticks of ram on a z790 formula and the 14900k is not stable at all. Only reducing clock speed to 5.5ghz works .

      well that sucks… have you tried lowering RAM speed?

        yeah but it still crashes even with the lower ram speeds. The only thing that seems to work is reducing cpu clocks. Do you think this 14900k is faulty?

          no idea honestly but other guys in this thread seem to be able to run it with 4 sticks at lower speeds
