How can I get 512GB of RAM with the AMD Threadripper 3970X?

According to the site https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_threadripper/3970x, the processor supports up to 512GB of RAM, what modules can be installed?
As I have found, Corsair, XPG, and Crucial only sell up to 32GB modules and with my Gigabyte TRX40 motherboard I could only get up to 256GB, but I would like to have 512GB.

On the other hand, in Amazon I have found DDR4 memory modules for 64GB server, would these be compatible?

With what modules could it reach 512GB?

IF the motherboard Specs says it supports RAM up to 256 GB that is the maximum it will support. I imagine if you installed 512 GB of RAM on the motherboard it will only show and support 256 GB of RAM.

Basically all Consumer Motherboards for the Treadripper seems to have a maximum RAM capacity of 256 GB.

To get more RAM then 256 GB you would need to upgrade to a sWRX8 Motherboard and a processor AMD ThreadRipper Pro Processor.

EDIT: The new TRX80 TreadRipper Pro processors has motherboards that support up to 2 GB of RAM MEMORY. Here is one from ASUS: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Workstation/Pro-WS-WRX80E-SAGE-SE-WIFI/...

You will need a Motherboard with a sWRX8 Socket which supports the TreadRipper Pro processors and up to 2 GB of RAM MEMORY capacity.
