Subject: Fatal1ty X99M Killer possible with 128gb ram?

I almost said, did you look at the picture? But if you aren't familiar with an ASRock UEFI on an X99 board, how would you know?
That's the Main screen in the UEFI, which shows, among other things, the DIMM slots populated with... uhm, DIMMs, memory sticks (I hate saying sticks), and the speed that the memory is running at.
We can see it is at 3000. The Crucial part number is CT32G4RFD4213.36FA1. We can see 2133 (oddly) included in the part number. Just to verify, just search on the part number above. One result example:

The standard speed of this memory is 2133. I don't think ECC server memory would have an XMP profile, but who knows.
Clearly, the memory is over clocked. It may be manually over clocked, which is no big deal to do.
What is a big deal is 128GB of ECC server memory used with a Xeon E5-2650 v4 (a Broadwell Xeon) processor being over clocked to 3000.![Thumbs Up]( "Thumbs Up")
![Shocked]( "Shocked")
IMO, to expect 128GB of this memory to be able to over clock at all is...![Pinch]( "Pinch")
Oh wait, we don't know what the timings are, might not be good enough.![Wacko]( "Wacko")
