Hi, at my office we're doing photogrammetry, and it's pretty CPU and RAM intensive. I'm assembling a system based around the AMD 3970X and the ASRock TRX40 Creator. We need (at least) 256GB RAM, so I was looking at the QVL and I noticed that for the corsair modules it says it only supports 2 or 2/4 in the column "DIMM Socket Support". Does that mean I can fit only two modules in the motherboard?
Anyone have experience with exceeding the "DIMM Socket Support" column? Does it just not boot, or does it not work at the advertised clock speeds? It does have 8 module support for the Samsung M378A4G43MB1-CTD, so it does seem like they were testing for it.
edit: I found some better google results by googling for just "ASRock DIMM Socket Support". Consensus seems to be that it just means it wasn't tested. But it is suspect that they tested a quad module set and only list that they support 2 DIMM's.
