Additional Notes
- The internal motherboard layout of the MSI GS75 9SE-278 Stealth utilizes a flipped design which requires total detachment of the mainboard from the chassis to access the memory modules.
- Dual channel architecture mandates identical module capacities across both slots to maintain peak memory bandwidth and prevent system downclocking.
- Thermal constraints within the thin chassis design suggest avoiding high voltage overclocked modules to prevent heat soak during sustained workloads.
- Installing modules with lower latency timings than the factory defaults will result in the BIOS automatically defaulting to the highest JEDEC standard supported by the processor.
- Reaching the maximum capacity necessitates the removal of all existing storage in the slots as there are no vacant bays for expansion without replacement.
- Upgrading beyond the factory configuration requires careful handling of delicate ribbon cables and the cooling solution during the inverted board extraction process.
- Compatibility is limited to 1.2V modules as the chipset does not provide additional voltage regulation for high performance 1.35V kits.
