Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode is only achievable by installing a matched pair of modules in the two available slots to maximize memory bandwidth.
- The presence of 2 dedicated slots allows for the total replacement of factory memory without being limited by soldered onboard components.
- Installing modules with frequencies higher than 2666 MHz results in automatic downclocking to the hardware bus limit defined by the MSI Modern A10M-213FR architecture.
- Reaching the 64 GB threshold requires the use of 32 GB high density modules which may increase thermal output within the chassis during heavy workloads.
- Physical access to the SO-DIMM slots typically necessitates the removal of the entire base panel and may require breaking a factory seal which affects service terms in specific regions.
- The system relies on 260 pin physical architecture which is incompatible with older DDR3 or newer DDR5 hardware standards.
- Latency performance is dictated by the highest CAS latency value present if 2 mismatched modules are used simultaneously.
