Additional Notes

  • The processor architecture in the DELL Inspiron 7790 limits memory throughput regardless of higher clock speeds available on aftermarket modules.
  • Hardware design restricts the total addressable memory to 16 GB across both slots preventing 32 GB or 64 GB configurations from functioning.
  • Lack of 4 slot availability necessitates the disposal of existing low capacity modules when reaching the maximum supported threshold.
  • Operating at 2133 MHz suggests a legacy latency profile which may cause system downclocking if paired with modern 3200 MHz modules.
  • Dual channel mode requires identical module densities in both SO-DIMM slots to maintain optimal integrated graphics performance.
  • Internal access for memory replacement entails removing the entire base panel which often involves fragile plastic clips and captive screw systems.
  • Component height for replacement modules must adhere to standard SO-DIMM profiles as heat spreaders or oversized PCB designs will interfere with the chassis closure.
  • Voltage requirements for the DDR4 slots are typically 1.2V meaning high voltage overclocking memory will fail to initialize or lead to system instability.
