Additional Notes
- The MSI Delta 15 A5EFK-046UK contains 2 SO-DIMM slots, permitting asymmetrical configurations where a single module can occupy one slot without requiring a matching pair.
- DDR4-3200 memory operates at a fixed frequency; substituting higher-speed DDR4 modules (3600 MHz or above) will downclock to 3200 MHz, negating any performance advantage and wasting capital on premium-tier components.
- The 64 GB maximum capacity represents a dual-channel ceiling; populating both slots with 32 GB modules activates dual-channel bandwidth (~51 GB/s), whereas single-slot configurations halve effective memory throughput to approximately 25 GB/s.
- SO-DIMM physical dimensions (67.6 mm x 30 mm) require low-profile clearance; standard-height heatspreaders on enterprise-grade or gaming-focused DDR4 modules may not fit within the chassis cavity, necessitating validation against the module's exact height specification before purchase.
- Warranty retention hinges on using non-overclocked, non-exotic memory; XMP/DOCP profiles or exotic timings void coverage, as the platform lacks BIOS-level overclocking controls for non-enthusiast silicon.
- The 64 GB ceiling reflects BIOS/chipset limitations rather than physical slot capacity; individual 32 GB SO-DIMM modules are the practical maximum per slot, whereas 64 GB single modules technically exist but lack compatibility.
