Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode requires identical module pairs to achieve full memory bandwidth and prevent synchronous latency spikes.
- Operating at the maximum supported frequency depends on the integrated memory controller of the processor maintaining stability under high voltage loads.
- The absence of soldered memory on the MSI Vector GP68HX 13VG-009FR motherboard ensures that both physical paths remain serviceable for future capacity increases without discarding factory components.
- Total addressable system memory is limited by the motherboard firmware despite higher architectural thresholds for the 13th generation chipset.
- Mixing modules with different CAS latencies forces the system to default to the slowest common timing profile to ensure boot stability.
- Physical clearance within the chassis restricts compatibility to standard height SO-DIMM modules and excludes those equipped with oversized integrated heat spreaders.
- Reaching the 64 GB limit involves replacing both pre-installed sticks since no additional expansion slots are available for incremental additions.
- High density DDR5 modules generate localized heat that relies on the internal thermal solution for consistent performance during sustained data transfers.
