Additional Notes
- The dual slot architecture requires the removal of existing modules to reach the maximum 64 GB capacity because no memory is soldered to the mainboard.
- Installing a single module triggers single channel mode which reduces memory bandwidth by 50 percent compared to a symmetrical dual channel configuration.
- The MSI WS76 11UM-447CA motherboard hardware limits memory speeds to 3200 MHz even if higher rated modules are installed in the SO-DIMM slots.
- Mixing modules with different CAS latencies forces the system to operate at the timing of the slowest chip which increases overall latency.
- Accessing the memory slots necessitates the removal of the entire bottom chassis panel which may involve breaking a factory seal depending on regional warranty policies.
- Thermal constraints within the thin workstation chassis prioritize standard voltage 1.2V modules over high performance overclocked alternatives that generate excess heat.
- The BIOS automatically adjusts memory timings via SPD profiles meaning manual voltage adjustments are generally unavailable for stability reasons.
