I've done a build around an Asus X99-E WS USB/3.1 motherboard with 128 gigs of memory. I've got an Intel i7-5960x processor and eight Crucial CT16G4RFD4213 parts. I've got an EVGA GTX-970 card, plus an Areca ARC-1882 RAID controller.
I'm not over clocking, and everything in the BIOS is at the default setting (as far as I can tell.)
With 128 gigs installed, the machine isn't stable. It might run Windows for a few minutes, or it might hang while the RAID card is POSTing. If I remove two sticks, dropping to 96 gigs, I'm fine and the machine is very stable.
The manual says the motherboard can run with 128 gigs. Should I have bought different memory?
