Additional Notes

  • Dual channel architecture requires matching memory module densities across both SO-DIMM slots to achieve full bus width and peak data transfer rates.
  • The MSI Sword 15 A11UE-057AU utilizes a standard 260 pin physical interface which precludes the use of newer DDR5 hardware due to structural differences in the notch position.
  • Installing modules with speeds exceeding 3200 MHz will result in a downclocking bottleneck determined by the integrated memory controller of the processor.
  • Achieving the 64 GB maximum capacity necessitates the removal of all factory installed memory since no additional vacant slots exist for expansion.
  • Latency timings should be matched between slots to prevent the system from defaulting to the slowest Common Denominator JEDEC profile which increases access times.
  • High density 32 GB modules must be unbuffered and non-ECC to maintain compatibility with the logic board chipset.
  • Internal component access for memory installation requires the removal of the bottom chassis cover which may involve piercing factory seal stickers in certain regional jurisdictions.
