Additional Notes

  • Dual channel architecture requires matching memory modules in both slots to reach theoretical peak bandwidth.
  • Physical access to the motherboard necessitates removal of the entire bottom chassis cover.
  • The 32 GB ceiling is an addressing limit of the chipset or firmware that prevents the use of 32 GB individual modules.
  • Installing modules with frequencies exceeding 2666 MHz results in automatic downclocking to the clock speed defined by the system BIOS.
  • Memory latency remains governed by the slower of the 2 installed modules when mixing different brands.
  • Voiding of the warranty occurs in certain regions if the factory seal over the chassis screws is broken during the installation process.
  • Thermal constraints from adjacent GPU and CPU heat pipes require low profile modules without thick integrated heat spreaders.
  • The SO DIMM configuration precludes the use of standard desktop DIMM hardware due to voltage and pin count differences.
