Here's BuildZoid review of the motherboard I'm using (GIGABYTE TRX40 Aorus Xtreme):

A very interesting watch if you're interested in electronics in general and in power delivery in particular (the whole YouTube channel is awesome to be honest).

That was one of the few that I thought could handle the 64/128 part. However look at the output filtering: It's roughly the same if not a cap or two larger as what you'd find on x299... which is a higher voltage and thus has lower amperage requirements. I have yet to find a back of board shot but unless it has a ton of SMD AL-poly caps back there that board would still struggle with the ramp described in the thread. Even then I'm not sure the socket resistance wouldn't cause enough V-droop to cause a crash anyway.
