Assuming this goes with your post about your system working with 4000 MHz... it likely won't do it with 128 GB of RAM.

 

What is your actual use case? Typically.......... no one with a 10900k needs 128 GB of RAM, because your core bound. If you actually need to use that much RAM, AMD is a much better idea. If your just trying to buy the "fastest" "biggest number" things for your PC for gaming, 128 GB is not what you want.

 

What is your use case, we can help you a lot more if we know what you need.

Use case as in what do you use the PC for? What do you "need" 128 GB of RAM for.

 

Big numbers do not mean "big speed". You will have a lot better chance actually running 4000 MHz with 2 16 GB sticks then 4 32 GB sticks. If your main use is gaming, 32 GB is more than enough. Photo editing I could see an argument for 64, along with 4k video editing. No "desktop PC" needs 128 GB of RAM. If you are running multiple VM's, sure, or if you are doing more "server like things" or scientific number crunching, sure. But then again, you wouldn't be doing that on a 10900k....

 

So, TLDR; 32GB is the right number most likely. If you want to get faster RAM, you will see a few % gain in performance, yes. 4000 MHz would be fine, but don't get more then 32 GB unless you have an actual need for it. "more faster" and "bigger numbers" is not a good reason, as like I said, larger sized DIMMs can make it more difficult to actually run at high speeds.

Yea, 3000 MHz is likely holding a few % of performance back, but its not going to change all that much going to faster. Definitely don’t need more then 32GB.
