Been reading a bit, it seems that even 64gb is troublesome\unstable on this platform (also goes for AMD?)

I'd like to go higher than that in my next 3D\creator oriented build, 128 or even higher if possible (been seeing some BIOS updates that allegedly allow up to 196 or even 256gb on some boards?) so I can avoid threadripper build cost.

Is it a real issue and how would you go about building a max RAM-loaded workstation in 2023\2024?

Currently rocking ancient i7-5820k with 64gb ram and it feels a bit tight on the ram side when doing Houdini simulations and even some renders.

You can use as many sticks/gb you want however it’s the frequency of those sticks is the only issue. If you get 5600 speed ram it should work no issues. Anything above that is going to depend on cpu lottery/motherboard
