Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode requires identical module capacities across both slots to maintain maximum memory bandwidth for the ASUS ROG GU604VY-001W.
- The absence of soldered memory allows for the replacement of both factory modules to reach the 64 GB threshold without capacity asymmetry.
- Installing modules with speeds exceeding 4800 MHz results in automatic downclocking to the system bus limit regardless of the internal XMP or EXPO profiles.
- Total memory capacity is limited by the physical SO-DIMM architecture and BIOS firmware constraints rather than the processor architecture.
- Higher density modules increase thermal density within the RAM seating area which relies on passive airflow for heat dissipation.
- Upgrading to the 64 GB peak requires 2 32 GB modules as the hardware does not support 64 GB single-stick configurations.
- Mixing modules from different manufacturers can lead to timing mismatches and system instability due to variations in CAS latency and sub-timings.
- Installation of non-ECC unbuffered memory is mandatory as buffered or registered server modules are physically and electrically incompatible with the SO-DIMM slots.
