Yes, it's feasible to use multiple G.Skill Trident kits. You can combine the two 128 GB and four 64 GB kits to meet the system requirements for the Asus ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA. Your existing 4 x 32 GB DDR4-4600 kits are also compatible with the motherboard.
Sure, it's a challenge getting that speed up. The Threadripper memory controller is essentially the Ryzen version but with significant drawbacks. Even with quad-channel per rank, top Ryzen chips can only hit around 3600MT/s, let alone 4000MT/s. You're probably lucky to reach 3200MT/s on a 3990X.
It's possible the 4 RAM kits rated at 4600MT/s won't function on the Extreme Alpha. It might be due to compatibility issues or incorrect specifications. Check your motherboard and RAM requirements carefully.
Don't anticipate top speed unless you're targeting 16gbit micron rev B but it won't run as smoothly as expected. Dual rank will crush single rank anyway, so unless you push them to 5000 (unlikely without freezing the I/O die), the best option is still better. Quick RAM is only available if you're willing to pay a premium—high bandwidth chips often have terrible timing and poor performance. If you're not ready to handle that kind of complexity, fast RAM isn't worth it.
Nothing appears on the screen except the motherboard display showing (MEMORY CODE:00). It will then transition to (MEMORY TEST). I'll share a video of the process when I power on the system. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vPUqXU5...sp=sharing
Code 00 can mean various things, from forgetting to connect the 8-pin CPU connector to a dead CPU or motherboard. Likely, I’d start by verifying all power connections and reseating the memory. Try another memory module if possible. Update the BIOS using BIOS flashback. Test each DIMM slot individually, one at a time, until you either cover every stick or the system no longer powers on. Recheck the CPU socket and inspect for any damage. Reach out to ASUS because there seems to be an issue with the board, RAM, or CPU—given the low failure rates and high likelihood of a faulty motherboard, it probably points to the board itself.
previous checks confirmed, all items were sanitized with isopropyl alcohol. i don’t have any other memory kits, so this one likely needs a computer repair center. i’ll probably have to take it apart from the case to inspect it further. removing the other parts (cpu, m.2 ram, cables) is good news—i can flash both bios to the latest available version. i’ll clean everything again before putting the pc back together and will redo steps 1 and 2. power connections were verified and memory reinstalled. step 5 will start now, skipping step 3. edited September 24, 2022 by NERDMONSTER9000
