I need to spec a system with 256 GB RAM. It seems that the way to do this is with a server board, specifically with either an Intel Xeon or an AMD EPYC chip. It seems that EPYC chips give more bang for the buck, particularly the 7401P. It also seems there aren't many manufacturers of such boards, namely ASRock, Gigabyte and Supermicro. It also seems that they tend to skimp on audio entirely, requiring a sound card if the user wants sound. Is that correct?
If I go with EPYC, it seems that I can use any liquid cooler that supports Threadripper as its socket is identical to that of EPYC. Is this correct?
Is there anything else I should be mindful of?
