  • 5 V unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs fit standard slots
  • 240-pin 2Rx8 modules install in both memory sockets

Designed for Dell Inspiron 3250

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered DDR3 DIMMs built to the PC3-12800 standard. It is made for owners of a Dell Inspiron 3250 desktop who need to reach the system's 16 GB memory ceiling.

Suits single-system upgraders

Builders who need ECC error correction, registered modules or a different pin count should look elsewhere. The kit is also unsuitable for any platform that does not accept 240-pin DDR3 memory at 1.5 V.

240-pin DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 spec

The decisive detail is the 240-pin DDR3 interface running at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing. Only systems that support this exact specification will recognise and run the modules at rated speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 2Rx8 modules need any firmware update or pairing step when I install them in the Dell Inspiron 3250?

No firmware update or pairing step is required; the 2Rx8 DDR3 1600 modules are designed for direct installation in the two 240-pin slots of the Inspiron 3250.

What speed ceiling appears first when the kit runs continuously at the rated 1600 MHz CL11 1.5 V setting?

The DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) specification is the limiting factor; sustained workloads cannot exceed the 1600 MHz data rate and 11-11-11 timings of these modules.

How much extra heat or power draw should I expect from the two 8 GB sticks running all day without a heat spreader?

Each stick operates at the standard 1.5 V DDR3 voltage with no heat spreader, so thermal output and power draw remain at typical DDR3 1600 levels for 16 GB total capacity.
