CORSAIR ONE i500 Memory Compatibility

In its default configuration, the CORSAIR ONE i500 ships with up to 64GB of DDR5 memory rated at 6000 MT/s. If you wish to upgrade, we recommend fully replacing the stock memory kit with a complete kit rather than adding additional modules to an existing kit.

For detailed compatibility information, check out the CORSAIR MEMORY FINDER to find a memory kit that has been validated for the CORSAIR ONE i500.

Accessing the Memory Slots

You will need a PH1 Philips screwdriver. The CORSAIR PC DIY PRECISION TOOLKIT will include all the necessary bits and more for upgrading the CORSAIR ONE i500.

Opening the CORSAIR ONE i500 is very simple. First, make sure your system is shut down, the power is off, and all cables are disconnected from the system.

Caution: When handling electronics, work in a clean, well-lit environment and ground yourself before touching parts such as motherboards and memory modules, as they can be sensitive to electrical discharge.

Remove the Left Side Panel Filter by gently pulling the magnetically attached filter away from the side panel. Then remove the two top screws using the PH1 Philips screwdriver and lift the side panel away from the chassis.
