X299E-ITX/ac motherboard in Corsair One Pro i180+ question on RAM upgrade

Two questions...

 

Why does the motherboard website say this:

 

- Quad Channel DDR4 Memory Technology

- 4 x DDR4 SO-DIMM Slots

- Supports DDR4 4000+(OC)* / 3866(OC) / 3800(OC) / 3733(OC) / 3600(OC) / 3200(OC) / 2933(OC) / 2800(OC) / 2666 / 2400 / 2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory

- Max. capacity of system memory: 128GB**

- Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 2.0

 

*The maximum memory frequency supported may vary by processor type.

 

**Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit OS. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

My processor states that 128GB is possible via the Intel site...

 

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/189127/intel-core-i9-9920x-x-series-processor-19-25m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz.html

 

Long story short my question is why can't I add four 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz RAM in the available slots? I am thinking this is based from a bios manipulation on Corsair's side. When will there be a update for the owners to fully utilize our system's potential.... Or why not give us the ability to use ASRock's bios directly?

 

Thank you for the insight,

 

Alan

 

P.s. I am now the owner of 4 Corsair Vengeance SODIMM 32GB (1x32GB) DDR4 2666 C18 1.2V for Intel 9th & 10th Gen Systems, Black :

Should I return these?

While the motherboard vendor's listing for the retail version of the motherboard may say 128GB, it doesn't necessarily mean that 128GB has been officially validated for use in the CORSAIR ONE i180. You can certainly give it a try, however we cannot guarantee that it'll work at this time.
