Alienware M17X R5 upgrade kit

This 16 GB kit contains two matched 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM modules built for the Alienware M17X R5 notebook. Each stick runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V. The 204-pin unbuffered design fits the factory slots directly.

Suits owners of that model only

Buyers who need ECC error correction, registered modules or a different voltage should look elsewhere. The kit is also unsuitable for desktops or any laptop that does not accept 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMMs.

1600 MHz CL11 at 1.35 V

The memory operates at PC3L 12800 speed with 11-11-11 latency on a low 1.35 V supply. Confirm your notebook requires exactly this frequency and voltage before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much power does the DDR3L 1600 kit draw at 1.35 V during continuous use?

Each module runs at 1.35 V, the standard DDR3L voltage, so the pair consumes less power than legacy 1.5 V DDR3 while delivering 1600 MHz speed.

Does the Alienware M17X R5 need all four SODIMM slots filled for this 2 x 8 GB kit to operate?

The notebook has four 204-pin sockets supporting up to 32 GB; the 16 GB kit occupies two slots and works without populating the remaining two.

Can I keep my existing 8 GB DDR3L 1600 stick and add this 2 x 8 GB kit for 24 GB total?

Yes, the M17X R5 accepts mixed capacities across its four slots up to the 32 GB limit, so adding the kit to an 8 GB module yields 24 GB.
