Additional Notes

  • The ASUS ROG G513IE-HF055 memory controller imposes a 32 GB ceiling across both slots combined, limiting single-slot configurations to 16 GB modules regardless of higher-capacity module availability in the market.
  • DDR4-3200 represents the officially supported frequency specification, though actual sustained transfer rates depend on CPU memory controller capabilities and thermal conditions during extended workloads.
  • SO-DIMM form factor requirements exclude standard desktop DIMM modules due to physical incompatibility, with SO-DIMM modules measuring 67.6 mm versus desktop modules at 133.35 mm in length.
  • Dual-channel architecture activation requires identical module specifications in both slots, as asymmetric configurations default to single-channel operation with measurable performance degradation in memory-intensive applications.
  • The 2 SO-DIMM slot configuration permits incremental upgrade paths without immediate full replacement, though populating both slots optimizes memory interleaving for bandwidth-sensitive tasks.
  • DDR4 voltage specifications standardize at 1.2V for compatibility, while non-standard low-voltage or overclocked modules may trigger POST failures or stability issues outside manufacturer-validated parameters.
  • Access to SO-DIMM slots typically requires bottom panel removal, which may affect warranty status depending on regional service policies and seal integrity preservation requirements.
  • Mixing module capacities between slots remains technically functional but forces the system into flex mode operation, where only matching capacity portions run in dual-channel while excess capacity operates in single-channel.
  • CAS latency timings interact with the 3200 MHz frequency specification, where CL22 modules introduce approximately 13.75 nanoseconds of latency versus 10 nanoseconds for CL16 modules at identical frequencies.
  • JEDEC standard DDR4-3200 modules ensure plug-and-play compatibility, while XMP-profiled modules require BIOS support for advertised speeds and may default to lower JEDEC fallback frequencies.
