Additional Notes

  • Dual channel memory architecture requires matching module pairs to achieve full theoretical bandwidth and avoid latency spikes in memory intensive applications.
  • The processor architecture governs the 32 GB limit regardless of the availability of larger capacity 32 GB single sticks on the market.
  • Installing modules with frequencies higher than 2400 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the system bus speed dictated by the MSI PS63 8RC-021IT Modern chipset.
  • Internal layout requires the removal of the entire base plate and potentially the breaking of a factory seal sticker to access the SO-DIMM slots.
  • Total memory capacity is limited by the physical presence of only 2 slots which necessitates replacing existing modules rather than adding to them for any significant increase.
  • The hardware voltage requirements for DDR4-SDRAM are fixed and incompatible with older DDR3L low voltage standards.
  • Performance gains from upgrading capacity are most significant when the swap file usage on the storage drive is minimized during multi tasking.
