Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode is only achievable when installing pairs of identical modules to balance the workload across the memory controller.
- The MSI GE63 9SE-618BE Raider RGB utilizes a non soldered architecture that allows for the full replacement of factory memory modules rather than just expansion.
- Installing modules with higher frequency ratings results in a hardware downclock to the 2666 MHz limit dictated by the chipset architecture.
- Reaching the 64 GB threshold requires the use of high density 32 GB sticks which are often only available in dual rank configurations.
- Accessing the SO-DIMM slots necessitates the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel which may involve breaking a factory seal sticker in certain regions.
- Mixing modules with different latency timings forces the system to default to the slowest common denominator affecting overall bandwidth efficiency.
- The physical layout of the 2 slots creates a vertical stack that requires careful clearance management during the seating of the lower module.
