I was reading an article saying that the i7 5960X supports up to 128GB of RAM although it says only 64GB at intel´s website. Is that correct? If so, the i7 5930K also supports up to 128GB?

Thanks.

Hi nelpiper,

 

 

The Intel® Core™ i7-5930K processor supports up to 64GB of memory; now Intel already released the newest LGA 2011Broadwell processors, they are capable to recognize up to 128GB of RAM.

 

 

Almost every X99 motherboard compatible with Haswell-E processors can support the new models. It is necessary a BIOS update; more details with your motherboard manufacturer.
