Additional Notes
- The dual channel architecture requires symmetrical module pairs to maintain peak memory bandwidth for professional rendering tasks.
- Upgrading the MSI WS75 10TM-493CA necessitates a complete replacement of existing modules rather than adding new ones if both physical slots are occupied by factory hardware.
- Installing modules with frequencies exceeding 2666 MHz results in automatic downclocking to match the hardcoded motherboard bus speeds.
- The SO-DIMM form factor limits heat dissipation compared to desktop memory, requiring modules with low voltage ratings to prevent thermal throttling under heavy computational loads.
- Exceeding the 64 GB threshold prevents the system from completing the power on self test due to firmware addressing limitations.
- Accessing the internal memory slots typically involves removing the bottom chassis panel, which may encounter tamper-evident seals depending on regional warranty policies.
- Mixing memory densities between the 2 slots can cause system instability or force the hardware into asymmetrical single channel operation.
