Additional Notes
- Dual channel architecture requires matching module capacities to optimize memory bus throughput and prevent asymmetric bandwidth degradation.
- The absence of soldered memory on the motherboard allows for the replacement of both factory modules without being restricted by a fixed base capacity.
- Installing modules with frequencies higher than 2133 MHz results in an automatic downclocking to match the chipset's hardcoded timing limitations.
- The 32 GB threshold indicates a density limit of 16 GB per slot, rendering 32 GB single modules incompatible with the BIOS addressing capabilities.
- Physical installation of memory requires total removal of the bottom chassis panel, as the design lacks a dedicated quick access hatch for standard maintenance.
- Utilizing memory with lower latency timings (CL values) offers the only viable path for performance gains since the clock speed is capped at 2133 MHz.
- Upgrading memory remains within standard warranty parameters provided that internal components are not damaged during the shell disassembly process.
- Voltage compatibility must be strictly 1.2V to ensure thermal stability within the compact internal layout of the chassis.
