Additional Notes
- Dual channel architecture requires matching memory capacities and timings across both slots to achieve maximum theoretical memory bandwidth.
- The MSI GE75 8RF-022IT Raider utilizes a SODIMM architecture which limits expansion to 16 GB modules per slot due to the integrated memory controller limits of the 8th generation chipset.
- Installing modules with frequencies higher than 2666 MHz will result in automatic downclocking to match the system bus limitation.
- Physical access to the memory slots necessitates the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel which may involve piercing a factory seal sticker in certain regions.
- Latency performance depends on the CAS latency rating of the replacement sticks because the BIOS typically lacks manual voltage or timing adjustment features for non-JEDEC profiles.
- The presence of 2 physical slots implies that any factory configuration utilizing both slots will require the removal of existing hardware to facilitate a capacity increase.
- Thermal headroom for memory is shared with the primary cooling solution for the processor and graphics chip within the condensed internal layout.
