Additional Notes
- The ASUS ROG GL704GW-EV013T accepts SO-DIMM modules exclusively, preventing installation of standard desktop DIMM memory despite identical DDR4 specifications.
- The 32 GB maximum capacity requires 2 modules of 16 GB each in dual-channel configuration, as single 32 GB SO-DIMM modules exceed standard JEDEC specifications for DDR4.
- The 2666 MHz frequency specification indicates locked memory controller settings that will downclock higher-rated modules like 3000 MHz or 3200 MHz to the supported speed.
- Mixing modules with different CAS latencies triggers automatic reversion to JEDEC fallback timings, potentially degrading performance below manufacturer-rated specifications.
- The dual-slot limitation prevents future expansion beyond 32 GB without complete module replacement, making initial capacity planning critical for workload requirements.
- SO-DIMM installation requires accessing the bottom panel, which typically involves removing multiple screws and may require thermal paste reapplication if the cooling assembly blocks memory access.
- Operating modules above 2666 MHz through XMP profiles may void warranty coverage, as Intel specifications for mobile platforms define 2666 MHz as the maximum JEDEC-standard frequency for this generation.
- Asymmetric configurations combining different capacity modules still enable dual-channel operation up to the capacity of the smaller module, with remaining capacity reverting to slower single-channel mode.
- The DDR4-2666 specification corresponds to PC4-21300 bandwidth rating, delivering 21.3 GB/s theoretical maximum throughput per channel under optimal conditions.
- Modules lacking proper SPD programming for 2666 MHz operation may default to 2133 MHz base frequency, requiring manual BIOS intervention to reach rated speeds.
