Targeted Server Upgrade

This 8GB DDR3-1600 ECC REG module is built for the Dell PowerEdge R520 platform. It suits administrators who need to expand memory capacity on compatible systems without introducing unbuffered or non-ECC sticks.

Build Integration

The registered design requires a motherboard that supports ECC REG DDR3 at PC3-12800 speed. It fits into standard DIMM slots on the target server, freeing unbuffered slots for other configurations while maintaining signal integrity across the memory bus.

Thermal and Power Profile

Operating at the standard DDR3 voltage, the module draws typical power for its class during normal workloads. Passive cooling via system airflow keeps temperatures stable, and the lack of onboard LEDs or active cooling means acoustic output remains negligible in a rack environment.

Questions about this item

How does the DDR3-1600 speed affect performance under sustained server workloads?

The module runs at 1600 MT/s with PC3-12800 bandwidth, so the memory bus itself becomes the first bottleneck during continuous heavy use.

What heat or noise should I expect when this ECC REG module runs all day in a PowerEdge R520?

It produces no noise and negligible heat; the R520's chassis fans handle any thermal load from the registered DIMM.

Which motherboard slot and chipset do I already need for this 8GB stick to work?

A Dell PowerEdge R520 with an available DDR3 RDIMM slot is required; the module is validated for that platform.
