Upgrade for Dell OptiPlex 3020 Micro

This 8GB DDR3L SODIMM module is built specifically for the Dell OptiPlex 3020 Micro desktop. It delivers 1600MHz speed at a low 1.35V voltage to match the system's memory requirements. The single 8GB stick uses a 204-pin form factor and unbuffered, non-ECC architecture for direct compatibility.

Suits single-slot upgrades only

This module suits owners of the OptiPlex 3020 Micro who need to fill one slot with the maximum 8GB capacity per stick. It is not for buyers who want more storage, require ECC error correction, or need registered memory for server platforms. Systems limited to lower DDR3 speeds or 1.5V-only operation should look elsewhere.

Deciding spec: DDR3L 1600 at 1.35V

The critical specification is the DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) rating combined with 1.35V operation. Standard DDR3 modules running at 1.5V will not meet the voltage requirement of this specific micro form-factor system. Verify your board accepts DDR3L before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.35 V DDR3L module increase heat or fan noise when the OptiPlex 3020 Micro runs all day?

The module operates at the standard DDR3L voltage of 1.35 V, which is the lower-power variant of DDR3 and does not add thermal load beyond what the system is designed for.

Does the 204-pin SODIMM slot in the OptiPlex 3020 Micro accept this stick without an adapter?

Yes, the stick is a 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM, the native form factor for the OptiPlex 3020 Micro, so it fits directly into the memory slot.

Can this CL11 1600 MHz stick run alongside an existing DDR3L module in the second slot?

The module is DDR3L 1600 CL11 2Rx8 unbuffered non-ECC; the system will run both sticks at the speed and timings of the slowest installed module.
