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 just setup a 192GB 14900K workstation and it was pretty straightforward to get going compared to AMD by just installing the RAM and turning on XMP and that’s it.

    5400MT/s seems stable from 80 hours of SAT but from my point of view, even 5200MT/s is a huge improvement over the 3600MT/s Intel and AMD spec for max capacity configurations which is what I would get if I settled for a Dell Precision 3660.
