x17 R2, 12900HK, 96GB (48GBx2) RAM support?
Alienware x17 R2
Hi all,
Would like to know if the x17 R2 with 12900HK supports 96GB (48GBx2) RAM? From Intel ARK the 12900HK only supports up to 64GB RAM. However, the 48GB sticks were released after the CPU, so I'm not sure if they will work on said machine.
Thanks.

For the device specifications, your Alienware x17 R2 can support up to 64 GB memory. See Alienware x17 R2 memory specs https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/alienware-x17-r2-laptop/alienware-x17-r2-setup-and-specifications/memory?guid=guid-e9d2ea83-38a4-431d-803c-96d63c1dbc34&lang=en-us
For the memory sticks that are compatible with the x17 R2. Check with the product vendors for compatibility as the x17 R2' SO-DIMM slot only accepts 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB stick. Crucial compatibility tool also indicates 64 GB as maximum memory capacity for x17 R2. They provide very good support and warranty for their products. If you want, you can give them a try for your memory upgrade.
Of course, you can always experimenting with unsupported configurations (48 GB sticks) and let us know the result. Sometimes, unsupported doesn't mean that it's not working.
