B450 with 64GB on ITX

[softwaresimian]

Since 32GB DIMM's are now available at fairly reasonable prices, does anyone know if it is possible to use 64GB with an ITX / B450 / Ryzen 3000 configuration ?

you'd need to check the specific mobo to see if it will support 32gb sticks. iirc not all boards do...

There are currently three motherboards on the market validated for this new double height memory:

1. ASUS ROG Maximus XI Apex (Z390)
2. ASUS ROG Maximus XI Gene (Z390)
3. ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming

These are all Z390 chipset motherboards, and thus applies to Intel's 8th Gen and 9th Gen processors. In this review we used an i7-8700K, and it didn't have any issues. We tested on some other motherboards from MSI and ASRock, however those systems did not post. It would appear that the memory has been developed in conjuction with concurrent validation with ASUS.

I was looking at the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX which shows Samsung 32GB (M378A4G43MB1-CTD) in the memory QVL.

Since the memory controller is on the CPU, I was interested to know if there was any theoretical issues with other chipsets ?

But why do you need 64gb?
What are you planning on doing with it

I've got some 32GB DIMM's I'm going to test in a B350 ITX board, will update once I've managed to get round to it next week.

Indeed.

Its a database ... guess what I'm going to do with it

...and I'm very interested on the outcome of the test with the 32GB DIMM's - Much appreciated - thanks.

Also, a bonus question. Has anyone tried 4 DIMM's (128GB) on any X570 board ?

You will have to check the board, but almost every AM4 board will support 64GB of memory. X570 added support for 128Gb.

No but I've done it on a Asus CHVII, and an ASRock X470 Taichi, will be testing more as I get more time and access.

The modules I used are M378A4G43MB1-CTD, rated at 2666MHz but the ran fine at 3200MHz C16 in the ASRock board.
