Additional Notes
- The MSI GS75 8SG-036RU Stealth uses notebook-class SO-DIMM memory exclusively, restricting upgrades to compact modules only. Desktop DDR4 UDIMM sticks are physically incompatible and will not fit into the available slots.
- Pairing 2 identical SO-DIMM modules in dual-channel configuration enables full memory bandwidth utilization. Mismatched capacity or frequency modules operate in single-channel mode, reducing effective throughput to approximately 50% and creating latency penalties for graphics-intensive workloads.
- The 2666 MHz frequency ceiling represents an older DDR4 generation specification. Newer 3000 MHz or 3200 MHz SO-DIMM modules may be physically installed but will downclock to 2666 MHz due to memory controller limitations, eliminating any performance gain from the premium purchase price.
- The 32 GB maximum capacity constraint prevents future scaling beyond 2x 16 GB SO-DIMM configurations. Applications requiring more than 32 GB of RAM cannot run on this system regardless of available storage or processor capability.
- SO-DIMM modules generate higher heat density than desktop counterparts due to compact design. Sustained thermal stress in gaming sessions may reduce memory cell lifespan or trigger thermal throttling if chassis airflow becomes obstructed.
- Warranty coverage typically remains valid when replacing factory memory with equivalent specifications from qualified manufacturers. Using mismatched speeds or capacities may void coverage if performance degradation occurs.
