Additional Notes

• The internal motherboard layout of the MSI P65 9SD-1001RU Creator utilizes a flipped design where the memory slots face the keyboard side rather than the bottom panel.
• Accessing the SO-DIMM slots requires a full disassembly of the main thermal module and motherboard removal which increases the risk of ribbon cable damage.
• Upgrading to the 64 GB maximum requires the removal of all existing pre-installed modules since no vacant expansion slots remain available.
• Higher frequency modules will automatically downclock to 2666 MHz due to hardware controller limitations established by the 9th generation Intel architecture.
• Dual channel bandwidth benefits are only active when 2 modules of identical capacity and rank are installed simultaneously.
• Thermal pads on the original memory modules must be transferred or replaced during an upgrade to prevent localized heat buildup under the keyboard deck.
• The use of high density 32 GB modules is necessary to achieve the maximum supported memory ceiling within the 2 slot physical constraint.
• Latency performance is determined by the highest CAS latency rating among the installed sticks if mismatched speeds are used.
