Is this Memory Compatible with Inspiron 3030 Desktop?

Dell PCs can be very fussy about RAM, so be careful what you buy, even if the RAM's specs seem to match.  You might be better off contacting Crucial directly and ask them what they recommend, since the Inspiron 3030 isn't -yet- listed on their website. 

If they recommend RAM and you purchase directly from them, they guarantee it works or they take it back, at no cost...

Inspiron 3030:

Hi,

Thanks for your advice!

I was in another forum, and we found that this Dell Inspiron 3030 Desktop requires the JEDEC memory standard. None of the other memory modules I posted about before supported this standard!

So, I instead found this other RAM on newegg.com:

A-Tech Velocity 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600MHz (PC5-44800) CL46 XMP 3.0 UDIMM 1.1V Non-ECC DIMM 288-Pin Desktop PC Gaming Memory RAM Kit - Black (AV2K16G5D56X) - Newegg.com

This module is the same voltage (1.1V) of the Dell official RAM:

Dell Memory Upgrade - 32 GB - 2Rx8 DDR5 UDIMM 5600 MT/s | Dell USA

Also, all of the memory of the Dell Inspiron 3020 Desktops are JEDEC memory. And, the people in the forum I was on say that you require JEDEC for the Dell 3030 Inspiron Desktop. This A-Tech Velocity Memory claims that it is compatible with Dell Desktops and Motherboards also :)

What do you guys think about this? I would like your opinion?

I am going to buy this memory and try it out! If it does not work, I will just return it!

Also, as per your advice, I am still going to contact Crucial support tomorrow morning. I am going to see what they recommend!

How much RAM is in this Inspiron 3030 now, and what is your upgrade going to be?  Will you replace the Dell OEM RAM or just add a 2nd module? 

As I said, Dell PCs can be fussy about RAM, especially if you mix modules with different specs.  I personally have no experience with A-Tech Velocity RAM. If you do try it, be sure it comes with a full no-cost return, if it doesn't work. 

I always upgrade my Dell PCs with Crucial RAM. When they recommend RAM modules, they guarantee they work or they take it back for free. 

Please post back and let us know what modules Crucial recommended. That info can help other 3030 users who want to upgrade. 

There was 16 GB of RAM on our current system. We were going to upgrade to 64 GB. We were going to replace the existing modules, and not mix together the existing modules.

This is the memory that I found:

Crucial Pro 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5-5600 UDIMM | CP2K32G56C46U5 | Crucial.com

It was on sale temporarily for $142.

Inspiron 3030 still not listed at Crucial, so I'd confirm with them that this RAM is compatible....

I confirmed with the tech support representative. 

this is what he said:

Yes as per your memory specs, it looks to be compatible. But since we have not tested this system physically, we cannot guarantee that.

Also, please note that A small number of DDR5 systems and motherboards require a period of "training" newly installed memory to work with the system and allow access to the UEFI, or otherwise to complete the system's power-on self-test (POST). So if you purchase this, make sure you proceed with the memory training first.

It will be a few more weeks before we upgrade, but by then I will let you all know if these Crucial memory modules work or not :)

Our experience is that you can get  1X32GB + Old 16GB and it will work just fine. 95%+ of the systems follow JEDEC standard.
