I understand this motherboard only officially backs up to 48GB of RAM, but some users have managed to reach 96GB. My setup involves two 16GB modules waiting to be installed. I chose to install them in my EVGA SR-2. Unfortunately, it didn’t boot because it isn’t compatible—not just the lack of support, but I also had non-ECC RAM installed. If I rearrange everything, placing the non-ECC RAM on one CPU and the ECC 16GB on the other, I see what’s shown in the picture below. Still, I can’t get the two 16GB sticks to work.

Yes, that's correct. Each CPU is limited to using either REG memory or non-REG memory, and it cannot have both types combined in a single CPU.

This approach is quite typical. I assumed you were referring to the 8Gb DDR3 sticks released late in the DDR3 era, which would be a 16GB non-REG dual rank module.

The 16GB modules use ECC protection, while the 4*2GB units are non-ECC.

I don't think so, but you might be able to adjust the settings to mimic a smaller capacity.

I don’t understand how it works, but after taking out the non-ecc memory and installing the 16GB ECC sticks in the motherboard’s red slots, everything functions properly. There are now 32GB of RAM detected and usable.

Notices many users are facing problems with 8GB sticks. I added two 16GB sticks and it worked. The board should restrict each stick to a maximum of 4GB.
