Additional Notes
- The motherboard features an inverted design requiring the removal of the entire board to access the RAM slots for installation.
- Dual channel memory architecture requires matching modules in both slots to achieve peak data transfer rates.
- Installation of modules exceeding 2666 MHz results in automatic downclocking to the system bus limit.
- The absence of soldered memory allows for a full replacement of the pre-installed capacity within the 32 GB threshold.
- Strict 1.2V DDR4 power delivery constraints prevent the use of high voltage overclocked memory kits.
- Physical clearance within the chassis restricts compatibility to standard height SO-DIMM modules without integrated heat spreaders.
- The 32 GB limit indicates a hardware cap likely enforced by the chipset or BIOS version rather than physical slot availability.
