24 GB Memory working in Studio XPS 435MT for $270
After trying 4 GiB DDR3 memory from G.Skill, Crucial and 2 sets of Black Diamond - and getting the dreaded "beep-beep" memory POST failure whenever I put more than 1 DIMM in a channel - I found memory that is recognized by the BIOS at the full 24 GiB.
I've been running with it for two weeks without a problem. I've run memtest, and even have pushed it into heavy paging running some database tests in virtual machines. (I have a fast OCZ Vertex 2 for pagefile.sys, so it can hard fault at an astonishing rate.)
Although this screen says 1333MHz, the OS and other tools say 1066MHz.
The DIMMs are Kingston KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX
Normally $120 per pair at http://www.frys.com/product/6516823?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG, but on sale in the Fry's stores for $89.99 per pair. (Note that the page says that they are 1.65v, but that's for 1600 MHz. The default is 1.5v at 1333MHz - look at the CPU-Z info below.)

Well thank you to Dubbah for doing the hard work on this one, I have just snapped up 24gb of the same Kingston HyperX memory but am having a bit of trouble. My machine - Dell 435MT on i7 920 running Vista Ultimate 64bit is only showing 16gb in windows but shows all 24gb in CPU-Z (details from CPU-Z below). The only thing I noticed about the sticks was that one pair had small clip/indents on the top so were not totally smooth on top like the others (I think these are the two in slots 5 and 6 that have different manufacturing dates to the others!). Any help would be much appreciated!
Apologies for the very long reply!
Just noticed on this photo that I took of two of the pairs that one pair doesnt have the Kingston head sticker so I think that may just be that a slightly different heatsink was used on that but I think the sticks are the same underneath.
Thanks

Here is a great price for your 435mt memory you posted Dubbah ,,, :emotion-2:
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1600MHz-KHX1600C9D3X2K2-8GX/dp/B004JO3L40
Saw this post looking for upgrades for my 435t, great find you had, and a bit later they are cheaper...
My way of thanking those that post helpful info ... This post helped me find mine ... :emotion-11:
Cheers (__)!!!

Thanks for the detailed post. Based on it... I ordered 24 Gigs of Ram for my Dell Studio XPS 435MT since I want to work more with Virtual Machines. Ordered the exact same memory from NewEgg and installed the memory. No problems at all. Note below image. I will say one thing I did not know. Memory on this system must be in sets of three... Bank 1/2/3 or 4/5/6. But since I was installing RAM to all six banks... did not matter. System is running like a champ!

To revive an old thread, I just installed 24gb in my mt435, using 6 sticks of Kingston HyperX Fury HX316C10FW/4. Running like a champ. I have previously transplanted mobo into a Thermaltake Sonata Snow case, R270X card, EVGA 850 watt PS, Crucial 1TB SSD and 2TB spinner, added USB 3.0 card. Amazed that this 1st gen i7 is still rockin'. I've been waiting for a good reason to upgrade mobo and processor (and video card for that matter), but this rig is still plenty adequate.

Thanks for the update. I had been following thread, But to clarify my understanding, this isn't exactly an MT435 any longer correct? Or qwill the HyperX work on in original PC as I have? I assume also it's running at 1333? and not 1600.
That will help as spec memory is getting hard to find, at least for me.

Won't run @ 1333, 1066 is max BIOS will allow. see thread:
Studio XPS 435MT & 435T Overclocking potential - BIOS upgrade?
Dell states in the manual 1333 is supported (will even show 1333 in the BIOS) but will down clock to 1066.

I recycled my box to run as a 2012 server - really just for hosting a bunch of (not often used) VMs. Works great.
I'd like even more RAM - and wondering if I could put in 8Gb modules?
Any thoughts as to if this would work?
**Edit...2 days later...no reply here, so just tried it..and it works! I now have 32Gb in the box. 2*8Gb + 4*4Gb
This is what I used: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl10d-16gbxl

Could not edit the post.
Aren't we better off using triple channel RAM instead of the dual channel GSkill one?

This is insane! :)
Are you using the same Dell motherboard or something else?
Kudos to you for taking such an expensive risk.

Same box. Nothing changed (apart from RAM).
My PC retailer wasn't sure it was going to work - and he even offered a refund (which they never do) - if it didn't work.
So, I guess I could push it to 6*8Gb = 48Gb. I won't as I think I've got enough now with 32Gb for my purposes.
Not really that expensive when considering a new box, power use etc.
**Edit. I remembered...I did change the power supply of this box a while back. When I was using it as a desktop, I blew the original power. And, Yes, took a while to work out how to edit posts...small arrow on right top of your post, drop down, say 'Edit' there. Yes, Matched DIMM 1 & 4

Good Question.
I would have assumed mismatched modules in DIMM 1,2,3 or 4,5,6 would not have worked. Due the whole tri-channel business. Oh well, still can learn new stuff - even about this old XPS 435. This is from the Service Manual (altho we know the manual has been wrong e.g. XPS 435 supports 1333Mhz RAM):
CAUTION: The recommended memory configurations are:
Matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1, 2, and 3.
or
Matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 1, 2, and 3 and another matched memory modules installed in DIMM connectors 4, 5, and 6.
It does say only recommended, not has to be matched.
Good job bobuser :emotion-15:

Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry about my english, I´m from Spain...
I just try to upgrade my XPS 435 too. I have 12Gb, and I was planning to buy 4*4gb to reach the 24Gb like others in this thread.
But I saw Bobuser post and want to upgrade to 32Gb :-)
I´m not sure about the exact model of 4Gb memorys
So... which memory should I buy? Bobuser says:
2*8Gb + 4*4Gb
This will work fine together?
www.amazon.com/.../B006T0CHLA
http://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL-PC3-12800-RipjawsX-9-9-9-24/dp/B004I763AW
OR
It will be better this ones (triChannel)
www.amazon.com/.../B00N8H066A
2*8GB Kit (2x4GB) + 1*16GB Kit (2x8GB)
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,,,
The original mother board and OS allow a maximum of 24GB ram, so 32GB will not be seen,,,
Upgrading the Motherboard and OS from Vista 64 would allow 32GB.
But this is an older build, and i7 920 processor with USB2.0.
For me I found buying a newer system with i7 gen 4 and Win 8 with 32GB ram and USB 3.0 a better choice.
Now we have even better builds possible...
Using all 6 dimms would be preferred, so 4GB matched sticks would be better,,, but you could go with 3 8GB sticks installed correctly,,, this would give you 24GB ram
That is the maximum ram for use on this computer with original equipment.

EDIT: Below is for a 435T/9000, which although released about the same time, is a different model than the 435MT. However, both are X58 boards that have 6 tri-channel memory slots. Memory that works in one will probably work in the other. Try at your own expense/risk (although $67 for a 2x8GB kit or $35 for a single 8GB isn't bad - link)...
----
Stress testing 48GB in my 435T/9000 now. So far so good. BIOS and Pre-boot System Assessment memory test both recognize all 48GB. Windows 7 Ultimate and HWiNFO recognizes 48GB. Using 6 x 8GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600 CL9.
Memory details: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00/ BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00
Bought 3 of these 2 x 8GB kits. Will only run at 1066 in the 435T/9000, of course, but with good CL6 timings, I believe.
The large internet retailer that reminds one of a jungle has them cheap right now...
