Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode requires identical module pairs to optimize memory bandwidth and reduce latency during intensive processing tasks.
- The absence of soldered memory on the ASUS ROG G513RM-HQ166W motherboard allows for high serviceability and full replacement of factory modules.
- Physical installation is limited to 262 pin hardware interfaces as older 260 pin architecture is electrically and mechanically incompatible.
- Mixing modules with different timings will force the system to default to the slowest common latency profile to maintain stability.
- Capacity expansions beyond the defined limit risk system failure to post or unstable operating system behavior due to BIOS level addressable memory restrictions.
- Integrated graphics performance scales directly with memory speed and will be throttled if mismatched modules downclock the bus.
- Thermal management considerations are necessary when adding high performance modules as denser memory chips generate additional heat within the chassis.
