[SOLVED] 32gb ram sticks won't read on my computer

[Benaiah212]

Hey Guys,

I'm kinda stuck and any input would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Asrock X299 Taichi motherboard that I purchased in early 2018. According to there manual it should support up to 256gb of ram. I recently purchased 128gbs of ram to add to the 4 empty slots, but they won't show up. (I current have 4x8gb G.skill 8gb installed) I even tried removing my current ram and just adding the 4 new sticks, but that just results in my computer not starting. This is the ram I purchased: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-128gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232992?Item=N82E16820232992

Any ideas of what's going on here? Maybe I need a Bois update? As a side note, has never been successful for me.

What CPU do you have? What is your current Bios? Which windows 10 do you have, Home or professional?

Your QVL only shows 32GB support on a few Corsair's for SkyLake CPU'S!

My CPU is: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820X CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. P2.00, 2/26/2018

You think my CPU doesn't support that much RAM?

Intel does say your CPU is limited to 128GB -- https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...eries-processor-11m-cache-up-to-4-30-ghz.html

Which may mean 16GB per slot with 8 slots filled ...

Lame, but at least I know now. Thanks for your help!
