Additional Notes

  • Dual channel mode requires identical module pairs to achieve peak memory bandwidth for the MSI Sword 15 A11UG-064AU.
  • The absence of soldered memory on the motherboard allows for a total replacement of the factory hardware to reach the 64 GB threshold.
  • Installing modules with timings slower than CL22 or frequencies below 3200 will trigger a system wide downclock to the slowest installed component.
  • Occupying both SO-DIMM slots reduces the electrical load on the integrated memory controller compared to higher density single stick configurations.
  • Third party memory upgrades usually require navigating a plastic clip assembly that is prone to snapping if the chassis base is not removed with non conductive pry tools.
  • The 1.2V DDR4 architecture ensures lower thermal output within the tight internal clearance of the laptop shell compared to older high voltage standards.
  • Reaching the maximum 64 GB capacity provides the necessary overhead for virtual machine hosting and high resolution video buffer allocation without relying on slower disk based swap files.
