Additional Notes

  • The ASUS ROG G513QY-HQ008T contains 2 SO-DIMM slots, meaning both slots must be populated simultaneously to achieve dual-channel memory architecture; installing a single module will force single-channel operation and reduce bandwidth by approximately 50 percent.
  • DDR4-3200 memory operates at a fixed standard speed; any modules rated higher than 3200 MHz will downclock to this frequency due to BIOS constraints, making premium-tier RAM purchases unnecessary for this platform.
  • The 32 GB maximum capacity ceiling represents a hard limit imposed by the chipset and BIOS; exceeding this threshold will result in non-recognition of additional capacity, regardless of module compatibility.
  • SO-DIMM modules occupy significantly less physical space than standard DIMM form factors, which constrains upgrade feasibility to laptop-specific memory; desktop DDR4 modules cannot be installed under any circumstances.
  • Upgrading from the factory configuration requires removing the bottom panel and accessing both slots simultaneously; partial upgrades necessitate removal of existing modules, eliminating the option to add capacity incrementally without handling pre-installed RAM.
  • Mixing memory modules of different capacities (for example, 8 GB and 16 GB) operates without technical issue, but asymmetrical configurations reduce the memory available in dual-channel mode to twice the smaller module's capacity.
  • The 3200 MHz specification indicates compatibility with JEDEC DDR4 standard modules only; Intel XMP or AMD DOCP overclocking profiles will be ignored by the platform, preventing performance gains beyond baseline specifications.
  • Memory upgrades on this platform do not typically void warranty coverage when performed correctly, but thermal paste disturbance during panel removal may require reapplication to maintain thermal performance and prevent throttling.
