Question need help choosing right motherboard for memory and cpu

[Drakecord]

hello i have 128 GB of 2RX4 (PC4) ram and a amd 5 5600 and amd 5 3600 will anyone help me find a motherboard that supports both?

Hey there,

I'd be going for something like this:
PCPartPicker Part List

Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard ($139.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $139.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Now, 128gb support is not on every mobo, and even if it is supported, the speed may have to be dropped below it's rated speed (This is the issues with 4 DIMMs instead of 2 DIMMs).

Which exact model ram is it? We need the partnumber.

Buying the ram first, is not the best idea. Usually go with mobo first, then select working ram from the QVL for that mobo.

There are no dual-CPU AM4 socket MoBos if this is what you are asking.

But if you want two individual MoBos, then following chipsets have AM4 socket:

For R5 5600, B550 would be best value. X570 offers more features but is more expensive.

I took it as 'both' being the ram and 1 of the CPU's. You might be right though. It's not very clear. And yes, there are no dual cpu desktop boards for mainstream users.

It can be understood 2 ways; but i 1st understood as asking for dual-CPU MoBo. 128 GB of RAM would be normal for such MoBo + it having 2x CPUs, which OP has.

But what may end up, is splitting the 4x DIMM set into two (64 GB RAM for one build in 2x 32 GB configuration), buying two MoBos and building two builds.

Good point!
