Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build a new system based on the i7-5960X (for rendering purposes) and I'd like to buy the following motherboard:
http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99DELUXEU31/overview/The X99 DELUXE/U3.1.
Under the specs I could see max RAM supported is 64GB DDR4.
I know there are 16GB non-ECC DDR4 modules coming to the market (Corsair and Crucial already have 128GB kits) so I was wondering:
Will the board get a BIOS update to support 16GB DIMMs or will it limit max RAM to 64GB?There are other motherboard manufacturers, like MSI, that state 128GB RAM support on their site:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X99S-GAMING-9-ACK.html#hero-specificationI found this post on the ROG forums:
http://rog.asus.com/340082014/rampage-motherboards/max-your-mem-128gb-ddr3-support-on-rampage-iv-bla...It seems ASUS put out new BIOS versions with updated microcode in order for the specified boards to support 16GB DIMMs. Will this happen with the X99 DELUXE/U3.1 and other newer boards too?
