How can i pair 128GB ram with i9-9900k?

[VxZ]

Ok, i was aiming at 64gb at first but i found out that the i9-9900k supports 128GB.

 

And yes having 128gb is very helpful for my work

 

The thing is, i couldn't find any mobo that supports more than 64gb ram, all of them are 64gb max,

 

And also since i9-9900k only accepts 4 sticks (dual channel), I couldn't find any 4*32 kits, I tried searching everywhere (Amazon, Newegg.. etc) 

 

So what am i missing  

thank you

They are making tall boy RAM sticks now so I imagine they should be available soon.  I've seen a couple things about them now and one was from ASUS, but on a smaller form factor motherboard.

That's great, but here comes the second problem, the kits

 

I can only find 8 * 16 ram kits but no 4*32 kits

 

The only solution I can see is buying 4* 32 alone not as kits, but I'm afraid about combability and such

so 128gb is helpful but using a xeon board isn't?

Well, after effects don't seem to love more cores, most of my work is on it + 64 ram gets eaten easily fast and i have lots of background programs opened, also i have kinda of a high budget so i want the best performance i could get for it

if you aren;t giving after effects anything to do , then yeah your cpu load will be low. i can 99% 24 cores just fine.

and keep in mind that having a high budget isnt always the best excuse to buy excess ram , fully knowing that there exist ddr2 machine with 128gb of totally slow uselss ram , money that could have been saved for a better platform.

well alrighty. bye

They removed the render multiple frams on seprate threads thing in 2015. The main frame render thread is single theaded.

 

Look here, the best chips are the highest clocked ones https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/After-Effects-CC-2017-2-CPU-Comparison-Skylake-X-Kaby-Lake-X-Broadwell-E-Kaby-Lake-Ryzen-7-977/
