It is crazy. Especially that they haven't been able to rectify or make it work after all this time.

I was originally going to go for 32gb as 4 sticks last year but after seeing all the reviews and videos just settled on a dual kit at 6000 to be safe.

Re: Ram question

I bought 48GB 7200 DDR5 dual kit last year and it was vender specified over a year ago. I only run it at 6000 MT though but lower the latency

My 7900X3D works fine with either 2 or 4 dimms at 6000mhz, but you clock it any higher, and it falls over.

I sent 2 sticks back as realistically I don't need 128Gb in my gaming pc, I only have 96Gb in my Unraid server and 96Gb in my Truenas server.

Both my Unraid and Truenas Servers have 24x 4Gb 1066Mhz ram with Intel Xeon CPU's, you try that with none Xeons and the memory controller falls over.
