Additional Notes
- The inverted motherboard design of the MSI GS75 9SG-281CA Stealth requires total disassembly of the chassis and removal of the mainboard to access the SO-DIMM slots located on the hidden side.
- High density 32 GB modules are necessary in both slots to hit the maximum supported capacity since no memory is soldered to the board.
- Dual channel memory architecture requires matching module capacities to avoid falling back into single channel performance modes which reduces CPU throughput during heavy gaming loads.
- Installing modules with lower latency timings or higher frequencies will result in automatic downclocking to 2666 MHz to maintain synchronization with the integrated memory controller.
- The physical height of the RAM modules is restricted by the ultra thin chassis profile necessitating standard height SO-DIMM sticks without integrated heat spreaders.
- Upgrading the memory involves breaking factory seals on the bottom panel which impacts warranty status in specific regional jurisdictions.
- Power consumption scales slightly with higher capacity modules affecting total battery runtime when the system is not connected to the AC adapter.
