Additional Notes

  • Dual channel mode functionality requires installing modules in pairs to utilize the full memory controller bandwidth.
  • The MSI Delta 15 A5EFK-036XFR motherboard architecture supports high density 32 GB modules per slot to reach the verified capacity limit.
  • Upgrading memory modules necessitates the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel which may involve piercing factory seal stickers in certain regions.
  • Installing RAM with speeds exceeding 3200 MHz results in automatic downclocking to the system bus frequency defined by the processor limit.
  • The SO-DIMM form factor restricts hardware selection to 260-pin non-ECC unbuffered modules typically found in mobile platform configurations.
  • Latency performance depends on the CAS latency rating of the slowest installed module when mixing different hardware brands.
  • The absence of soldered memory on this board ensures that both slots remain accessible for future hardware replacement or symmetrical capacity balancing.
