Additional Notes
- Dual channel memory architecture requires installing modules in pairs of identical capacity and speed to maximize memory bus bandwidth.
- The 2 slot configuration necessitates the replacement of existing modules for any capacity increases because no empty expansion bays are available.
- System firmware limits addressable memory reached at 32 GB regardless of higher capacity density modules present in the market.
- Data transfer rates will downclock to 2666 MHz if modules with higher XMP profiles are installed due to motherboard chipset limitations.
- Lower latency timings on aftermarket RAM may require manual BIOS adjustments that are often restricted on factory series motherboards.
- Physical access to the SO-DIMM slots requires removing the entire lower chassis panel which involve breaking factory seal stickers in certain regions.
- The use of 1.2V DDR4 standard is required to maintain thermal stability within the compact internal cooling arrangement of the Raider chassis.
- Memory modules exceeding standard height specifications may interfere with the bottom casing or heat pipe assembly due to tight internal tolerances.
