Additional Notes
- Dual slot architecture necessitates the removal of existing modules to reach the maximum capacity if the ASUS ROG G814PM-S8046W is shipped with both slots occupied.
- The system operates in a dual channel configuration only when matched pairs are installed, which significantly impacts integrated graphics throughput and memory bandwidth.
- Physical clearance for memory replacement requires a ground strap to prevent electrostatic discharge when accessing the SODIMM bay beneath the bottom chassis cover.
- The processor memory controller imposes a hard cap on frequency, meaning modules with higher rated speeds will automatically downclock to mirror the system bus limitations.
- Non parity memory support dictates that ECC modules will not function, requiring standard unbuffered hardware for successful boot cycles.
- Voltage requirements for DDR5 are lower than previous generations, so mixing different memory technology standards is physically blocked by specific pin keying.
- Storage of BIOS settings might require a CMOS reset if the timing profiles of new modules differ from the factory installed hardware.
