I've tried twice buying a pair of 16GB DDR4 DIMMs for my H110M-ITX board, both times they didn't work. The second time I checked the compatibility on Crucial's site when I figured out that Intel STILL screws people by limiting what DIMMs are supported beyond size (or maybe I should blame JEDEC for enforcing standards worse than USB does) Still, no dice.
What the heck is it I should be looking out for? A certain number of chips per DIMM? A certain size of chip per DIMM? Something hidden inside like number of ranks or x whatever width?
How am I supposed to buy DIMMs for this board when you can't get specs at purchase time beyond size, speed and latency, and I know those are the problem? Is there a site where I can select DIMMs based on whatever magic factors are required to make DIMMs that work?
Is DDR5 going to fix this mess or is it more of the same?
