Additional Notes

  • Dual channel configuration requires matching modules in both slots to provide the intended memory bandwidth for the processing unit.
  • The physical layout of the MSI GP66 11UE-617NL LEOPARD necessitates the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel to access the internal memory sockets.
  • Operating at the maximum supported capacity of 64 GB involves utilizing high density 32 GB modules which may increase thermal output within the memory compartment.
  • The system firmware restricts memory speeds based on the processor memory controller limitations regardless of the theoretical maximum clock speed of the modules.
  • Using memory modules with varying latencies or timings results in the system defaulting to the slowest common denominator to maintain stability.
  • Upgrading to higher capacity sticks requires the use of non Ecc unbuffered modules as buffered or error correcting memory will cause a boot failure.
  • The use of double sided modules may present clearance issues against the internal heat pipes or electromagnetic interference shielding.
  • Static discharge protection is a requirement during installation because the memory slots are located in close proximity to sensitive motherboard components.
