Hi,

Zitat von Arthur Heymans <[email protected]>:

TL;DR - Has anybody either successfully used 16GB DDR3 modules on
SandyBridge, can rule it out, or has ideas about how to dig deeper?

According to Sandy bridge datasheets only up to 4GB DDR3 technology is
supported, which makes it possibly to use dimms with 2 ranks, with each
rank having a capacity of 4GB, hence max 8GB per DIMM.
This is a hardware limitation.

Thank you for your answer. That's what I also read, but here it is stated that some Asus Sandy Bridge boards support such modules:

Is Sandy Bridge E so different from Sandy Bridge? Would it be possible to replace the 2620QM with an Ivy Bridge CPU?

Best,

Thomas
