Hello @Lost_N_BIOS @dsnake , here is the BIOS dump from my motherboard https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xepV1GF...iew?usp=sharing
Please let me know if this is ok. Thanks a bunch.

@Lost_N_BIOS @dsanke thank you very very much. Now my motherboard supports 128GB RAM. You guys rock :)
----------------

@XPLives Thank you for your post. Yes, I have 4x32GB Corsair Vengence 3000MHz CAS 15-17-17-35 modules. I've tried just installing them before LNB BIOS mod, motherboard only recognised 64GB total.
After LNB BIOS mod, motherboard recognises 128GB total. Also, my Ubuntu 16.04 shows 126GB total (normal for Ubuntu).
---------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS one more question/request. Would this motherboard support the new i9-9900KS model with or without further modding?

@k6808_8086k - You're welcome, and thank you for the quick report back! Great to hear it worked first time around too
Thanks again to dsanke for sharing this mod method and helping us along with the mod too

I checked and see 9900KS is just same as 9900K only better binned, same CPUID too (906EC), so yes, it should support that CPU already but I can't say for sure about the full 100% compatibility
Actually, yes, I checked the CPU Support page and it shows as supported by default for that BIOS, so you're good to go - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-MA...O/HelpDesk_CPU/

@XPLives I use Linux to test some memory hungry apps and few VMs inside my machine. 64GB was being on the low side. 96/128GB will help a lot.

Will find out about the i9-9900KS in few days. Hope the built-in iGPU will work fine on that processor.

@XPLives Yes, I use the machine for 4K video editing sometimes. I also use VM to run macOS, Windows & few Linux distros. Also, some app I like to use RAMDISK. I want to try virtualisation on this machine as well.

Windows is quite buggy sometimes and restarts without asking. Like it has it's own mind. Also, most of the open-source software compiles and runs smoothly on Linux and macOS.

@k6808_8086k - I replied above about the 9900KS at post #18 - it's already in the manufacturer QVL list, so tested and supported already by the manufacturer, so you're good to go

@Lost_N_BIOS Thanks. Yes, i9-9900KS is working fine on this board. Installed it yesterday. Need to run some tests and setup fully for final usage. :)

@XPLives I replied to your PM. I was using Windows 10 on a machine and I like to keep my machines on and running 24/7. But, Microsoft tends to release update which requires restart of the system even if I don't want to restart immediately. Annoyingly I had to press to install later. Many times while I'm sleeping, the computer restarted automatically. That is not convenient for me.
Also, I assume you heard about a gamer who was live-streaming his gameplay and during his playing, his Windows just restarted. Leaving him and his users deprived of enjoying a good game. That is just only example I have about Windows at the moment. If you like, I can dig the URL for that news.

It's too bad, that user didn't get one of the Auto-BIOS-Reflashes pushed out by Win10 and then the BIOS bricked on reboot, maybe that would have shined a light on Microsoft/Board makers to stop doing this to people!
Good to hear your KS is up and running!
