Hello all, I bought a used ASUS P9X79 LE and to my surprise it has a E5 2697 V2 CPU on it. I want to use this for my Color Grading/Video Editing system. I did the bios update and came across a note stating that the new bios 4801 allows the motherboard to support 128gb or ram. I was shocked as this might be a lost diamond of board and CPU combo.
I will buy a GTX 1080 or the Titan X to make this a good custom build, but need the ram to beef it up as well.
Can anybody help me pick the correct ram for this custom build please?
Would really appreciate the help.
 
Solution
I would begin by contacting asus, if they claim it works with 16bg ram sticks then they have something they verified it with at 128gb
