• XPS 12 memory upgrade

  XPS 12 memory can be improved?  So far, I can't get a direct answer from Dell.

  Hi jb3962,

  Welcome to the community,

  The XPS 12 (live RAM) memory is part of the system board. Because the memory is part of the system board, it cannot be upgraded as a separate module.

  Thank you

• Dell XPS 8500 - memory upgrade problems

  I bought a Dell XPS 8500 nine a couple of years.  It came with 8 GB of memory (2-4 GB DDR 3 1600).  Recently, I picked up two sticks of 8 GB, DDR-3 new, 1600.  In total, this should give me 24 GB of memory.

  Currently, housing 1 and 3 are using 4 GB sticks and slot 4 has a key of 8 GB.  If I try to stick the other stick in slot 2, the system does not start.  I assumed it was because a bad stick, so I went back to the store and I replaced it, but the problem persists.  I can get a total of 16 GB, which is recognized in the system.  According to Dell, and Crucial, this system should support up to 32 GB.

  This system only supports the memory to some total amounts, as the 16/08/32?  I checked my BIOS is updated as well.

  I'd appreciate any comments on it.  Thank you!

  If you consult the technical data sheet, the only supported RAM configs are: 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 32 GB.

  Read this.

  EDIT: And modules are best installed in pairs, so 2 x 4 GB + 1x8GB is not an optimal config.

• Dell Studio XPS 9100: Case fan care? Cooler CPU upgrade options?

  I want to upgrade the case fans in my XPS 9100, but I've seen much contradictory info in the actual specifications regarding size: are these 92 mm or 120 mm?

  In addition, it is an i7 960: is there a compatible upgrade for the CPU cooler? I don't want or need to COO liquid: want to let it cool a bit. Basic time are constantly around 52 C.

  I think that on all processors in the LGA 1366 socket, the hoses are the same.  On the 9000, I used the cooler DBX - B on 4 different processors in the LGA 1366 socket.  Any socket LGA 1366 cooler should operate, regardless of the CPU.

  The DBX - B can be installed to direct the air in 1 of the 4 directions, depending on how it is mounted.  I have mine pointing upward, to the power supply.  (Note fan blows air in the direction of the fins in aluminium).  Idea is to keep the heat away from the other components of the motherboard and direct it to two fans at the rear (one being in the power supply), which are tailpipes.

• Dell XPS 9100 compatible with Nvidia GTX 980/970?

  All the world either of these new cards video 980/970 series installed in a dell xps 9100? Or whether they will work with the 9100, in particular motherboard/bios original card?

  I plan to upgrade my studio xps Dell 9100 (2010 I7 930 12 GB of ram, motherboard Dell 05DN3X Intel X 58 Intel ICH10R) with a new video card in replacement of the Radeon HD 5870. My choice of card is the new Nvidia GTX 970.

  The GTX 970 and 980 GTX are based on the new Maxwell Nvidia cards with high specifications on page and good price. While they are not suitable for the power of the XPS 9100 (two GTX cards consume less energy than the 5870), I don't know if my original xps 9100 motherboard (with a bios updated from July 2014 on the site of dell driver) is compatible with the gtx 970. BIOS office 8700 recent Dell was not compatible/created a problem of black screen, and Dell has released a updated Bios updated for the 8700 in December 2014 that apparently works fine now with the 980/970 series. I wouldn't drop the $350 on a video card that didn't work with my 9100

  I use the Dell 9100 for video editing (Sony Vegas Pro 13, Hitfilm 3, NewBlue and other programs based GL/CL) works more 3d animation with iclone (who prefer Nvidia). I could probably get another year or two out of it with a newer video card... otherwise I'll put all useful to a construction of the self.

  I'd appreciate any comments on it. Maybe Chris from Dell of this forum would know that he shares the fix for dell bios enabled the 980 work with 8700.  Thanks to Chris if he answers or if he can answer my question gtx 970 for me and other 9100 owners.

  Just this moment installed a MSI gtx 970 in my 3 1/2 years, xps 9100. Original motherboard. The only thing I've really updated over the years is the memory.

  525 Watt POWER supply was more than enough. You must use both the point 6 and point 8 plugs not one or the other. Biggest problem was to find a second source of power. The 6 + 2 plug, but don't think that the other was there. He was and is buried in the middle of a wire harness. A sheet of plain to 6 points. Just enough.

  It works like a charm. Not at all of the start-up problems

• Studio XPS 9100, Ati HD5670, flickering of small format black and white square

  I have Dell XPS 9100 Intel Core i7 CPU 8 GB 64 - bit Windows 7 OS.  ATI Radeon HD5670.  I found a new driver dated December 2014 and loaded.  The small blocks flick went then small black line sometimes appears on both monitors, but it's not the worst of it. This new drive made me all kind of pain.  When the launch IE I get message that IE has failed.  When I open file Explorer it fails also.  I got the drive to a 2010 version and the black line of thinking in the middle of the screen has disappeared but flickering blocks returned.  I did a restore to return six days ago, but IE and Explorer of files are still not.  I really screw that constituent.

  I was wondering if my Radeon video card failed and if you think that it is perhaps the issue which video card would you propose?   At least a new video card would have current reference to the Web site with the current drivers or driver.  I don't do games but want to run three monitors (two running).  This machine is about four years with two internal 1 TB DASD, one Internal 500 GB and a 1 TB external drive.

  HELP me please I'm in trouble AND I THANK YOU for your help.

  
  I forgot to mention that I ran a Scan of the file as an administrator of the DOS command prompt, I am under MS Virus and Malware full Scan.  There is no longer a couple, I can take as the safe boot mode see if problem persists.  And then perform a clean boot and finally a scan of RAM memory.  I already did a restore of the system 8 days ago.  Guess I can make one "in Place Upgrade' as the last step at least think a person would be better off buying the new video card since this problem of flicker developed a few months previously and not related to my efforts to update HD5670 ATI Radeon driver to the latest version.  It seems almost obvious to me is a graphics card problem, because a change in the Version of the driver to change the shape of video problem scrapie blocks of black and white in the corner of the scree in a detroit thin black line in the middle of the screen.  However technology can be difficult, but does not seem plausible as a problem of video card with the new driver changing the display screen problem but by introducing the serious problem of failing IE and Windows Explorer.  The full scan just finished with a browser quarantined modifier.

• Studio XPS 9100 video card update

  Hello

  I currently own a Studio XPS 9100, I am looking to update my video to a Nvidia GTX 660 card. My first choice of the map would be the GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD, but I am concerned about cooling in my case, since it's a map outdoors. The card that's in there now is the Radeon HD 5770 standard with a closed around the map case. I know the case of XPS 9100 doesn't have a lot of fans and I wonder if I'd be better off getting a card with a case like the one that is there now, those who are better for internal cooling cases or are the two models of cards very well to use this system without modification?

  This card should work, but as you said would be throwing air hot back on the case and may not be the best for a stock case, unless you upgraded your fans or have a power supply that can compensate for the extra heat.  Should work well.   If you keep your machine in a well-ventilated vs in a Cabinet, you should be ok.

  If not, opt for one of these reference maps which has the shroud designed to channel air on the back of the card,

• XPS 8900 RAM upgrade options?

  Hi all

  I just got the Dell xps 8900 (had upgraded to 256 GB SSD, GTX 980 and now to upgrade some DDR4 RAM.)

  I see she has 2 of the MTA8ATF51264AZ-2G1A2 4 GB SDRAM Micron now, my option I can get more for Memory4less 117,60 $2 to make it 16 GB of total RAM?

  However, I see some Crucial memory (32GB) for almost the same price, but do not know if those that are compatible with the xps specification 8900.

  

  Please let me know what RAM upgrade you have or suggestions for me.

  Thank you

  hskb

  Go to the website of Crucial and which is compatible with your model. Essential is a good place for the memory of a dell computer. Corresponding exactly what you already have is always a good choice but if you buy from Crucial ram, get it directly from Crucial instead of a 3rd party vendor. It's too risky. Essential guarantees that their ram working or you can return it.

• Studio XPS 9100 Radeon HD 7950 what brand will work?

  Currently in research to upgrade the 5770 in my XPS 9100 with a 7950 and after checking if an upgrade would be possible for this machine I came across several posts that say I'm able to upgrade. After looking through several brands, I had made my mind up on top of the Gigabyte brand but after having looked more into it, I noticed several posts on different sites and a review on Amazon who said they had problems with this card specific gel. If you would be grateful if anyone knows of a brand of 7950 that will work. I know that I will probably not be able to get an answer from someone who has actually upgraded a 9100 XPS with a 7950 I prefer, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I have found no information on other cards installed in the XPS 9100 on the Gigabyte brand does not.

  Maybe Sapphire changed this on Vapor X model.  If this is the case, I'd go just with those that are confirmed to use just two 6-pin connectors, so you have no worries as this one HERE.  However, I would also consider the MSI TF as a good choice HERE.  As in the case of Dell cooling is never the greatest, I would look too GTX 660 Ti EVGA of external evacuation models.  Depending on the game, these two trade just kicks back in performance so that you would probably never notice no difference between the two except that the Nvidia GTX 660 it can just play games today smoother than the AMD card.  But then again, 4 games free vs a free game is a big difference if you like what you get.

  I'm going to guess that there is a problem that we're trying to fix with the Vapor X model if they are exchanging with two 8 pin after the first release.  Most HD 7950 s use only two 6-pin and the 7970 s HD using one 8-pin and a 6 pin.  GTX 660 Ti uses only two 6-pin for sure.

• Studio XPS 9100 drivers

  I plan on finally replace my boot with a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD drive. I had a great experience with the Samsung 840 250 GB big on my laptop.

  I intend to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  The most disturbing aspect is always the drivers: I find the Dell Drivers page very confusing because even when I let the Dell software detects my system, it gives me many more options that I think I need, including multiple versions of the same driver.

  Is there a centralized place where I can only get the drivers I really need?

  The basic specifications are given below.

• A Dell Studio XPS 9100 usable RAM ECC?

  A Dell Studio XPS 9100 usable RAM ECC? And can we use memory faster PC-10600 and can it use more than 24 GB memory RAM?

  Manual says: 1333 MHz DDR3 NO- ECC only and max is 24 GB.

  Crucial.com offers PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 RAM for this system and it is usually a good indicator of what will work, at least when the use of RAM bought from them.

  I can add more technical info on request.

  Recently saved this PC of my friend tries to throw it. Everything is fine with the PC. It works perfectly and there is no material visible failure wihtin the PC either. He just bought a new and had no need for this one.

  Before turn me this into a House mutli-purpose server, I decided to upgrade the RAM.

  So I did some research and found this page: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883661

  DDR3 240-pin DIMM 1333 MHz non - ECC, Max 4 GB per DIMM slot, Total Max 16 GB module.

  I went and bought RAM Corsair. Link to the product: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmv4gx3m1a1333c9

  I decided to get 2x4gb and upgrade later if I felt the need.

  I was happy to install in the PC. one in DIMM 1 slot and the other in the DIMM 2 slot.

  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

  I thought that maybe the slots are wrong, maybe they have to odd numbers then numbers.

  So I changed the RAM of DIMM 2 DIMM 3.

  Once again, the annoying ringtone.

  I even tried leaving just the 4 GB DIMM 1 and tried to start the PC, but nothing helped.

  I tried a lot of different combinations with the end result is 5 annoying beeps.

  After that I thought that maybe, just maybe, an update of the BIOS can change things.

  So I installed Windows 7 (I can't stand Windows. Arch Linux FTW) and performing a BIOS update.

  I then installed the new RAM again. Yes... frickin 5 beeps AGAIN.

  I am extremely disappointed at this point. I spent already $ 70 on a computer with free access.

  I read the forums here, but I couldn't find a thread with a solution for me.

  Is there anyone on this forum who could lend me a helping hand?

  Any information would be gladly appreciated.

  PS Please report any stupid error, I did. Stick and stones could not curb my bones.
