LGA-2011 i7s can handle 128GB of RAM now. 6800k for example: https://ark.intel.com/products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Pro... The previous generation (5820k, etc) were only officially rated for 64GB, but they too worked fine with 128GB in practice. Intel just never updated the spec sheets once 16GB DIMMs became available.
