I saw this post once, but I'm not sure how valid it is:
Byte number 4 of the SPD defines the devices density and banks used on the memory modules. If Byte 4 is set to 4, it means the memory module uses 4Gbit chips. If Byte 4 is set to 5, it is a 8Gbit chip.
The MRC code in the BIOS of Intel CPUs contains a command called "ASSERT" which limits the maximum value of Byte 4 to 4.
If Byte 4 = 5 (for 8Gbit), the MRC will stop -> the system does not boot!
And this is exactly what is happening here on the majority of Intel CPUs.
That being the case, I'd like to research if the Haswell-E's have been restricted in some way.
It looks like Intel's own ARK page for Haswell-E specifies a 64gb limit.http://ark.intel.com/products/82931
Officially? 64gb. Unofficially? Probably 8 of the largest DDR4 consumer sticks whenever they come out. They cannot validate for products that don't exist yet.
So you're saying as soon as 16GB modules are available they can be plopped in and will work, without anything like a BIOS update ?
