Additional Notes
- Dual channel memory architecture requires installing modules in pairs of identical capacity and speed to maximize memory bus bandwidth.
- The 64 capacity limit indicates support for high density 32 modules per slot which may require a BIOS update to ensure full stability with newer memory chips.
- Installing components with frequencies higher than 2666 will result in downclocking to the system bus limit determined by the Intel 9th Gen processor architecture.
- The MSI GF65 9SEXR-677AU Thin utilizes a standard small outline form factor which eliminates the possibility of using desktop DIMM modules or LPDDR low power soldered memory.
- Upgrading memory requires the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel which can jeopardize factory seals in specific regions depending on local consumer law.
- Internal heat management relies on shared thermal pipes near the SO-DIMM slots so heat spreaders on aftermarket RAM might interfere with the physical clearance of the bottom cover.
- Latency timings play a critical role in performance since the system lacks XMP profile support for manual memory overclocking in the standard BIOS menu.
