Quick update.
I took the plunge and decided to go for the 256GB (8x32GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance RGB PRO Black, PC4-25600 (3200), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 16-20-20-38, 1.35V kit. It works just fine on the original ROG VI Extreme from 2017 ( I am not talking about the Omega/Encore version – although I am sure it would work just fine on them ) running a 7940X i9. I have been using it for about a week without any issues at all. This means that the 10000X series will run as well on that board with that amount of memory. However, if you have any of the 10000X series CPUs, you will not be able to take advantage of the extra 4 lanes (only 44 will be used by the motherboard). If you want the full 48 lanes you will need the latest refresh of X299 mobos, eg. ROG VI Extreme Encore, Prime 30th Edition, etc.
Hope this helps someone out there

Do you remember what bios you had to use on your ASUS Rampage VI Extreme with that i9 7940x to access that much memory? I bought a 4x32GB kit from g.skill that was on the supported motherboard page on the g.skill site, but my motherboard just showed the message "detect memory" and would not get further.
