Optiplex 790 USFF DDR3 Kit

This 16GB kit uses two 8GB DDR3 modules built for the Dell Optiplex 790 USFF desktop. It raises the system to its 16GB maximum across the two available slots. The memory is non-ECC and unbuffered, matching the platform requirements.

1.5V Operation at CL11

Each module runs at 1.5V with a CAS latency of 11 and 11-11-11 timing at 1600MHz. Standard JEDEC voltage keeps power draw low and thermals modest inside the small-form-factor chassis. No heat spreaders are fitted, relying on case airflow.

240-Pin DIMM Pair for Two Slots

The 240-pin DIMM form factor fits the Optiplex 790 USFF motherboard directly. A matched pair enables dual-channel operation without manual configuration. Builders needing ECC, registered modules or speeds above 1600MHz should choose a different product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs in the Dell Optiplex 790 USFF, and what step is often missed?

Power off and unplug the USFF, open the chassis, align each 240-pin module with the two DDR3 slots, press firmly until the retention clips click on both sides, then verify 16 GB appears in BIOS — the step often missed is seating both clips fully on each 8 GB stick.

What maintenance or replacement will the 16 GB kit need later?

The unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 modules have no moving parts or batteries; they require no scheduled maintenance, and replacement is only necessary if a stick fails or the system is upgraded beyond the 16 GB two-slot maximum.

What limit appears first under sustained use with these CL11 1.5 V modules?

The platform caps at 16 GB across two slots, so capacity is the first hard limit; thermal throttling is unlikely because the USFF airflow and standard 1.5 V JEDEC voltage keep the 2Rx8 chips within spec during continuous workloads.
