From what i understand all of the Core i9 9000 HEDT series processors for LGA2066 are considered Skylake-X, same as Core i9 7000 HEDT series, meaning they are actually 7-th generation? If that is the case, then these processors only support 16 GB DIMM DDR4 modules in 2Rx8 layout and NOT in 1Rx8 layout? Only the later generation processors support 16 GB DIMM DDR4 modules in 1Rx8 layout? CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THIS?
I've got a Core i9 9960X and Asrock X299 Taichi motherboard, a combo which simply refuses to work with Mushkin Redline 2X16 GB DDR4 4000 MHz kit (error code 53), despite the fact that motherboard does support RAM up to 4266 MHz. The Mushkin 2X16 GB DIMM DDR4 modules are exactly of 1Rx8 layout, meaning single rank with eight 8-bit chips on one side! Failing with Mushkin, i have replaced the RAM with Kingston HyperX 2X8 GB DIMM DDR4 modules, which are of 1Rx8 as well and they work.
I still need to buy RAM, but if only dual rank 16 GB modules are supported by Core i9 9960X, and not single rank, the selection becomes somewhat limited..
