Additional Notes
- The internal layout of the MSI GS658SE-224UK STEALTH features a flipped motherboard design which requires complete removal of the mainboard to access the SO-DIMM slots for any hardware modification.
- Dual channel memory architecture is only achievable when installing two matched modules because there is no soldered memory on the board.
- The processor memory controller limits throughput to 2666 MHz even if higher rated modules are installed as the system will downclock them to maintain stability.
- Reaching the 32 GB capacity threshold necessitates the removal of all existing factory modules since there are only two physical interfaces available for expansion.
- Thermal management constraints within the thin chassis dictate that high density modules should not utilize thick heat spreaders to ensure proper clearance with internal ribbon cables.
- The use of 1.2V low voltage modules is required to maintain compatibility with the power delivery system and to minimize excessive heat generation inside the compact enclosure.
- Latency performance is dictated by the slowest module installed because the BIOS lacks extensive XMP profile support for manual timing adjustments.
