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.

With dual channel you can get up to a pretty high speed, I am going to be getting 2x 6400mhz 32gb sticks, but I'm pretty sure that anything quad channel and above starts to be limited to 5400-5600 or so, or even lower. But if you're doing creative stuff, that might not be what you're worried about, and you may just want a bunch of 5200mhz sticks.

Exactly that. It's not a problem if my simulations\renders are 4% slower or whatever, but if they can't fit in the RAM, I have a major problem.
