14900k and 4 ddr5 sticks instability? (also max ram still 128gb?) (alien.top)

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.

I'm a 13900k owner running 4 sticks of ddr5. Only 64gb, so take it with a grain of salt for 128+.

My experience is that 4 sticks and high capacities are absolutely stable... until you decide you want your RAM faster than JEDEC.

I finally got my 4-sticks of DDR5 running stable at their rated 6000MT/s, but it was... a painful process. I learned more about RAM overclocking than I ever wanted to, and it involved manually adjusting voltage settings and multiple overnight MemTest passes.

Jeez, I would love 4 sticks, for the look, but everything here is convincing me to go with 2 sticks when I upgrade to ddr5.
