Additional Notes
- Dual channel architecture requires matching module pairs to utilize the full available memory bandwidth for the Ryzen 4000 series processor in this MSI Alpha 17 A4DEK-010XIT.
- The absence of soldered memory on the motherboard allows for the total replacement of factory modules to reach the maximum 64 GB threshold.
- Physical installation is restricted to 260 pin small outline connectors which excludes standard desktop components or older DDR3 hardware.
- Installing modules with higher frequencies than 3200 MHz will result in automatic downclocking to the system bus limit determined by the chipset.
- Achieving the peak 64 GB capacity necessitates the use of high density 32 GB modules in each of the two available slots.
- Mixing modules with different CAS latencies will force the system to operate at the timings of the slowest installed stick.
- Accessing the internal SO-DIMM slots requires the removal of the entire lower chassis cover which may involve piercing a factory seal sticker in certain regions.
