Dell XPS 8500 upgrade module

This 8 GB DDR3 1600 DIMM is built specifically for the Dell XPS 8500 X8500-1059BK desktop. It installs in a single 240-pin slot and runs at 1.5 V with CL11 timing. The module uses major-brand chips and carries a limited lifetime warranty from Computer Memory Solutions.

Ideal for owners of that exact Dell model

It suits anyone restoring the XPS 8500 to its 32 GB maximum across four sockets. Buyers needing ECC, registered DIMMs, or a different pin count should look elsewhere. Systems that cannot accept 2Rx8 unbuffered modules will not work with this stick.

240-pin DDR3 1600 CL11 1.5 V

The 240-pin DDR3 interface at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency and 1.5 V operation is the single specification that determines fit. Match those values to your motherboard requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 240-pin DDR3 module in the Dell XPS 8500 X8500-1059BK desktop and what step is often missed?

Power off, unplug, open the case, align the notch on the 240-pin DDR3 stick with the slot key, press firmly until both side clips snap shut, then power on and verify 8GB appears in BIOS. The step often missed is seating the module until both clips click.

What maintenance or replacement will this 8GB DDR3 1600 memory need later?

No routine maintenance is required. If a fault occurs, the module carries a limited lifetime warranty from Computer Memory Solutions for exchange. Dust the DIMM slots with compressed air only if you reopen the case for other upgrades.

What limit appears first under sustained use with this CL11 1.5V DDR3 12800 stick?

The platform maximum of 32GB across four sockets is the first hard limit. Thermally, the unbuffered non-ECC module runs at standard 1.5V without a heat spreader, so sustained loads stay within JEDEC limits for DDR3 1600 operation.
