Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode activation requires installing two identical modules to double the theoretical memory bandwidth.
- The MSI GL62 6QE-638IT chipset limits faster memory modules to the specified 2133 MHz base frequency through downclocking.
- Upgrading to the 32 GB maximum capacity necessitates the removal of all pre-existing factory modules due to the two slot physical limit.
- Lower voltage requirements of DDR4 technology reduce thermal output within the chassis compared to older DDR3 standards.
- Accessing the SO-DIMM slots requires the removal of the entire base panel which involves breaking the factory seal sticker.
- Installing modules with differing latency ratings results in the system defaulting to the slowest shared timing values.
- Performance gains in integrated graphics tasks depend heavily on utilizing both slots to increase data throughput between the CPU and system memory.
