Alienware 18 DDR3L SODIMM kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM modules built for the Alienware 18 laptop. Each stick runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings and operates at 1.35 V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design uses a 204-pin layout and major-brand chipsets.

Upgrade buyers for Alienware 18

The kit suits owners of an Alienware 18 who need the maximum 32 GB capacity across the two available sockets. Buyers with laptops that require ECC, registered DIMMs, a different pin count, or a voltage other than 1.35 V cannot use these modules.

204-pin DDR3L 1600 compatibility

The decisive specification is the 204-pin DDR3L 1600 interface matched to the Alienware 18's two SODIMM slots. Only systems that accept PC3L-12800 unbuffered memory at 1.35 V will recognise the full 16 GB capacity.

Questions about this item

Does my Alienware 18 need any specific BIOS version to recognise these 204-pin DDR3L 1600 modules?

Computer Memory Solutions guarantees compatibility with the Alienware 18; the kit runs at 1.35V with CL11 11-11-11 timings and requires no special BIOS setting beyond the standard laptop firmware.

If I keep one existing 8 GB stick, will this 2Rx8 kit run in dual-channel alongside it?

The Alienware 18 has two sockets and a 32 GB maximum; populating both slots with this matched 2x8 GB kit ensures dual-channel operation, while mixing ranks or capacities can force single-channel mode.

How can I verify the memory is running at the rated 1600 MHz after installation?

Open Task Manager or CPU-Z and confirm the speed reads 1600 MHz (PC3L 12800) with timings 11-11-11 at 1.35V, matching the module specifications.
