System-Specific DDR3 Kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered DIMMs built to the DDR3 1600 standard with CL11 timing. It is manufactured by Computer Memory Solutions and validated for the Dell XPS 8500 X8500-1059BK desktop. Each module uses a 240-pin interface and operates at 1.5 V.

Targeted Upgrade Path

The kit suits owners of the named Dell XPS 8500 model who want to reach the platform's 32 GB maximum using two of the four available slots. Builders working on different motherboards, laptops, or systems that require ECC or registered memory should look elsewhere.

Steady-State Operation

Under sustained load the modules maintain their rated 1600 MHz frequency and 11-11-11 timings at the standard 1.5 V. Without heat spreaders they rely on case airflow, so adequate chassis ventilation is necessary to prevent thermal throttling during prolonged heavy workloads.

Questions about this item

My Dell XPS 8500 has four memory slots — can I install this 2x8GB kit alongside two existing modules?

The kit provides two 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs. The system supports up to 32GB across four sockets, so adding this pair fills the remaining two slots.

Will the system boot at the rated 1600MHz speed with this CM10246412800DIMM kit installed?

These modules run at DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) with CL11 11-11-11 timings at 1.5V. The BIOS should configure them automatically on first boot.

How can I verify the full 16GB is recognised and running at 1600MHz after installation?

Open Task Manager or UEFI/BIOS after restart. Both should show 16GB total and a memory speed of 1600MHz for the new DIMMs.
