No, you cannot. The motherboard only supports up to 64GB, so adding more than that won't work.

You're considering upgrading your system to fit more RAM. Your current setup has a motherboard that only supports 64GB DDR4, but you have 16GB installed. You're planning to add more RAM later with another 2 sticks and eventually upgrade to a motherboard that supports 128GB. The idea is to get double the current amount (32GB now) so you can expand as needed.
Yes, it works well and supports high capacities. It's uncertain if using all slots would improve performance, but 2x32GB should suffice. Checking reviews or other users' experiences can help determine the best setup. Essentially, the system limits itself to what's available.
The plan is to replace the motherboard in a few months at most, opting for one that supports 128GB RAM. I’m leaning toward getting two 32GB modules now so I can keep using the existing RAM with the upgraded board later. If I decide to go with four 16GB sticks, I’d just swap them in instead. It feels like a potential waste of money and components. Essentially, I’m checking if 2x32GB works with the Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H board or if I should stick with 4x16GB right now. I might reach out to Gigabyte directly for a quicker answer.
Skylake and Kabylake models cannot use 32GB memory modules. The maximum allowed is four 16GB cards on boards with four RAM slots, or two 16GB cards on boards with two RAM slots.
You're wondering where to locate this detail. It seems the main product page doesn't provide it, but you discovered it in an Intel community forum discussion.
