Additional Notes
- The 2 slot configuration requires the removal of existing modules to reach the maximum capacity because there are no additional vacant sockets.
- Operating in a dual channel configuration provides a significant bandwidth increase over single channel setups for memory intensive tasks.
- The MSI Prestige PS63 8SC-086PT motherboards utilize a flipped design that necessitates the removal of the entire mainboard to access the RAM slots located on the opposite side.
- Installation of memory modules with speeds exceeding 2400 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the hardware controller limit.
- Voltage requirements for the SO-DIMM modules must adhere to the 1.2V DDR4 standard to ensure system stability and prevent thermal throttling.
- Latency timings should be matched between the 2 sticks to prevent the system from defaulting to the slowest common denominator or failing the POST sequence.
- Upgrading to the 32 GB limit reduces reliance on the Windows pagefile and lessens the write wear on the solid state drive.
