Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode requires identical module pairs to optimize memory bandwidth and reduce system latency during high load gaming.
- The MSI GF65 9SD-251 Thin chassis requires Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules as standard desktop memory sticks lack the physical clearance for this internal bay.
- Higher frequency modules will automatically downclock to match the hardware controller limit of 2666 MHz which results in increased sub timing latencies.
- Removing the factory seal to access the slots may impact local warranty claims depending on regional consumer protection laws regarding user replaceable parts.
- Mixing modules of varying capacities or brands potentially triggers system instability or prevents the motherboard from posting during the boot cycle.
- Maximum capacity support indicates the BIOS architecture utilizes 16 gigabit density chips for 32 GB modules in each available slot.
- Passive cooling limitations within the thin chassis design suggest that memory modules with tall integrated heat spreaders will prevent the bottom panel from seating correctly.
