Question 1

Since Dell never shares their compatible RAM lists, how can I be sure these will work in my Dell 5680, with an X370 mobo?

Hello Jimbo, I looked up the specs of the Dell Inspiron system you are referring to and see it uses DDR4 memory. Seeing as this uses an Intel CPU, I doubt you will have compatibility issues since (at least in my experience) AMD is usually the one that has memory compatibility issues. One thing to note is that Intel has been supporting DDR4 since its inception so up until AMD released Ryzen, they were the only ones actually able to use DDR4 memory. I am confident the kit will work with that system but in the event that it does not, you have 30 days to return the kit back to us for a refund. Additionally you can ask DELL but they might just tell you the same thing I just did. Below is the link to Dell's product page for your computer where I pulled the system specs from: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1398209-REG/dell_i5680_5790blu_i5_8400_8gb_1tb_gt.html

Question 2

Heat shield or just paper graphics?

Accepted Answer

It is a foil sticker like you find on most M.2 SSDs so it is considered a light weight heatsink.

Question 3

will this ram work with a 10th gen comet lake intel cpu?

Accepted Answer

The base clock for 10600K and less is 2666.
The base clock for 10700K and higher is 2933.
My recommendation is to spend an extra $3.00 and get  the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 3200 CL16.
