Precision 3460 SFF RAM Memory Upgrade

Question

Hey, Dell enthusiasts! DO NOT listen to Dell's official specs for this machine that it only takes 64GB maximum RAM.  It takes MORE!My newly bought Precision 3460 SFF easily takes 2 by 48GB DDR5 Modules making total RAM size 96GB.  Like a charm - easy.  Here is the link to exact modules I purchased:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2P24B8R?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsBy the way, for those who have Precision 3660 Tower (I recently got one, too), it also takes 96GB the same way (or even possibly will accept 192GB as well by installing 4 by 48GB modules.  Here is the link for you:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVN11ZRB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Also, both 3460 & 3660 work easily with Intel i9-14900KF - I'm using them now, just bought CPU's and installed them. Will also be trying the VR Heatsinks 3YHRX https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CLY2QHPR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In couple of days will install low profile Nvidia A2000 12GB with low profile bracket into 3460, will see how it goes...

... will keep you posted (those who are interested :)

thanks for sharing. how are the VR Heatsinks ? I am inspired by your post and would consider upgrading to 192GB too. CPU wise am on 12700. having the basic heatsink not sure how easily it is to upgrade it if I were to upgrade them.

@gratitude.county​  sorry fir long time not replying, the VR sinks work awesome! Beware of 192GB upgrade that your RAM speed will drop to 4000 since you will be using all 4 slots.
