No I7 motherboard will hold 120 GB of ram (which i think you mean 128 GB)
You would need at least a x299 chipset board for that.

Which i7 CPU in particular? X99, X299 chipsets will support 128GB of RAM with an appropriate i7 or i9 (HEDT).... Mainstream i7, just like i5 and i3 are maxed out at 64GB with a 1xx or 2xx series chipset. Older than Broadwell or Skylake, Well, you're talking even less RAM than that.

i5-7640X is on X299 - Kaby Lake-X and i7-7740X is on X299 - Kaby Lake-X may use x299 platform, but they don't support quad channel memory, and can only use 64 Gb ram.
