Dell Optiplex 980 memory kit

This kit supplies 4 GB of DDR3 memory in two 2 GB modules built for the Dell Optiplex 980 desktop. The 240-pin DIMMs run at 1333 MHz with CL9 timing and 1.5 V operation. Unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original system specification. Buyers needing higher capacity or ECC support must look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous workloads the modules maintain their rated 1333 MHz speed and 9-9-9 timings without downclocking. The major-brand chipset delivers stable throughput for typical office applications and multitasking. No heat spreader is fitted, so airflow through the chassis manages module temperature during extended use.

Thermals noise and power

Operating at 1.5 V keeps power draw low for DDR3 memory of this density. Passive cooling means the sticks add no fan noise to the system. Standard 240-pin height ensures they fit the Optiplex 980 motherboard without clearance issues.

Questions about this item

How much power does this 1.5 V DDR3 kit draw under continuous load?

The modules are rated at 1.5 V, the standard voltage for DDR3, so power draw stays within normal DDR3 limits for a 4 GB kit.

Does my Dell OptiPlex 980 need a specific BIOS version or chipset revision to recognise these 240-pin DIMMs?

The kit is built to match the OptiPlex 980 memory specification; install the two sticks in the correct slots and the system will detect them.

Can I mix these CL9 1333 MHz sticks with slower CL9 modules already in the OptiPlex 980?

All modules run at the speed of the slowest stick, so adding this pair to existing CL9 DDR3 will work at the lower common frequency.
