New build. Best memory available for a WS X299 PRO/SE INTEL X299

I don't game this is for CAD work

Cant wait for any new board to come out.

I want 128GB Memory

Any thoughts....

You would need 8 x 16gb sticks in quad channel configuration. The motherboard says it supports am up to 4133mhz overclocked 2666mhz standard would you want to do this ?

You should look at qvl compatable list for memory on the Asus site.

Should be fine , you will have to set the xmp profile in the bios to get the 3600mhz speed

Ok after a little bit more of research I am finding it difficult to get the memory combo that I would prefer that is in stock and compatible. (Given they don't recommend multi packs)

Ideally I want DDR4 3600MHz RAM Speed either (4X32GB) or (8X16GB) 128mb. (in one pack)

I cannot find any of these combos that are in stock and compatible with the board.

Can you advice as to an alternative memory combo that would would work with this board.

Thanks

These often combine well on X299

However it depends a lot on the specific CPU sample....what CPU do you have...later X299 CPUs seem to do a lot better in this regard....

I chose the Intel Core i9-10980Xe Extreme (Cascade Lake-X) Socket LGA2066 Processor - Retail

I have ordered these which concur with your suggestion

That should work fine

would be interested what CAD package uses that much memory, assuming something 3d

Usual suspects, Modo, Zbrush and any other render software that does the job.
