Additional Notes
- The internal layout requires the removal of the entire motherboard to access the memory slots because they are located on the underside of the PCB.
- The MSI WS63 7RK-408ES utilizes a dual channel architecture which necessitates installing pairs of identical modules to achieve peak memory bandwidth.
- Installing modules with speeds higher than 2400 MHz will result in a clock down to the system maximum and may introduce latency overhead.
- Hardware limitations on the CPU memory controller prevent the detection or utilization of any capacity exceeding 16 GB per slot.
- Upgrading the memory requires breaking the factory seal on the bottom chassis which might impact regional service agreements depending on local consumer laws.
- Transitioning from a single module to a dual module configuration significantly improves performance in data intensive professional CAD and rendering applications.
- Voltage compatibility is restricted to 1.2V DDR4 standards meaning older low voltage DDR3 or high voltage overclocked modules will prevent system boot.
