16 GB DDR3L SODIMM kit for Alienware notebooks

This dual-channel kit delivers 16 GB of DDR3L memory at 1600 MHz across two 8 GB modules. It is built for Alienware 17, Alienware 18 and M17x R5 notebooks that accept 204-pin SO-DIMMs. The low-voltage 1.35 V design matches the factory specification for these systems.

Upgrade from 8 GB or 12 GB configurations

Adding this kit replaces smaller factory modules to reach the platform's 32 GB ceiling across four sockets. The jump is worthwhile when multitasking, virtual machines or large project files exceed the current capacity and cause paging to storage. Systems already at 16 GB in dual-channel will not gain capacity from this kit.

Steady throughput under continuous workloads

CL11 timings and unbuffered 2Rx8 organisation provide consistent bandwidth during extended rendering, compilation or database sessions. The modules operate without heat spreaders, relying on the notebook's internal airflow to maintain stable temperatures. No ECC or registered buffering is present, so data integrity relies on the platform's standard error handling.

Questions about this item

Will these 204-pin SODIMM sticks fit the four memory slots in my Alienware 17?

Yes, each module uses the standard 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM form factor that matches the four slots in Alienware 17, Alienware 18 and M17x R5 notebooks.

Do I need to change any BIOS settings when installing this 1600 MHz CL11 kit?

Installation is plug-and-play; the system will detect the 1.35 V DDR3L modules at 1600 MHz automatically, just seat both sticks firmly until the side clips click.

If a module fails years from now, what warranty coverage applies?

Computer Memory Solutions provides a limited lifetime warranty with lifetime exchange or repair against manufacturing defects when purchased directly from them.
