Additional Notes

  • The motherboard features an inverted design requiring the removal of the entire board and disconnection of ribbon cables to access the memory slots.
  • Installing modules with speeds exceeding 2666 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the hard-coded processor bus limitations.
  • Dual channel performance benefits require identical module capacities across both slots to maintain symmetrical memory bandwidth.
  • High density 32 GB single sticks are incompatible due to the 16 GB per slot firmware limitation.
  • Thermal pads on the underside of the motherboard may lose adhesion or tear during the physical disassembly required for a memory swap.
  • The absence of XMP profile support in the BIOS prevents the use of low latency gaming memory at its advertised timings.
  • Upgrading memory necessitates the disconnection of the internal battery to prevent short circuits on the exposed motherboard components.
  • Factory seal stickers covering chassis screws may signal a warranty void in specific regional jurisdictions upon physical entry.
