8GB DDR4 SODIMM for Dell Inspiron 17

This 8GB DDR4 2133MHz module is built for Dell Inspiron 17 models 5765, 5767, 7778 and 7779. It uses a 260-pin SODIMM form factor and runs at 1.2V with CL15 latency. The non-ECC, unbuffered design suits standard laptop memory slots. Buyers needing ECC error correction or registered modules should look elsewhere.

DDR4 2133MHz speed and JEDEC compliance

The memory operates at PC4-17000 speed with CL15 timing at 1.2V. It meets JEDEC standard specifications and is ROHS compliant. The 2Rx8 rank configuration is fixed by the module design. Systems requiring a different voltage, higher frequency or lower latency than 2133MHz CL15 will not run this module at its rated specification.

Tool-free installation in accessible slots

Installation follows the standard SODIMM procedure: align the notch, insert at an angle and press down until the clips engage. Most Dell Inspiron 17 chassis allow access through a bottom panel. Difficulty arises if the slot is under the keyboard or if the BIOS does not recognise the 2Rx8 density. The module has no heat spreader, so clearance is not a concern.
