Additional Notes
- The presence of on board memory indicates that half of the system RAM is non replaceable and soldered directly to the motherboard.
- The single available SO-DIMM slot limits future expansion to a single module swap rather than a dual channel kit replacement.
- Total memory capacity is achieved by combining the fixed on board capacity with a specific high density module in the open slot.
- Asymmetrical memory configurations may occur if the capacity of the added module does not match the soldered base capacity which can impact peak bandwidth during memory intensive tasks.
- Using a module with a frequency higher than 3200 MHz will result in the hardware downclocking to match the system bus limitations.
- Installation of a new module in the ASUS TUF Dash FX516PM-AZ046 requires the removal of the entire bottom chassis cover which involves several captive and non captive screws of varying lengths.
- The hardware architecture requires standard 1.2V DDR4 modules to maintain stability and avoid POST errors.
- Dual channel performance benefits only apply to the capacity range where the soldered and removable sticks are equal in size.
