8 GB DDR4 module for Alienware desktops

This 8 GB DDR4 DIMM runs at 2133 MHz with CL15 timing at 1.2 V. It is built as a single 288-pin unbuffered stick using a 2Rx8 layout and non-ECC chips. The module is validated for Alienware Area 51 R2 and Aurora R5 systems.

Sustained load behaviour

Standard JEDEC DDR4-2133 operation keeps voltage steady at 1.2 V during extended sessions. Without a heat spreader the chips rely on case airflow, so temperatures track ambient conditions inside the chassis. The 15-15-15 timing remains stable across continuous read and write cycles.

Upgrade context

Adds 8 GB to the four-slot platform that supports up to 64 GB total. The jump is worthwhile when the current configuration leaves free slots and the workload benefits from extra capacity rather than higher frequency. Buyers needing ECC, registered modules or speeds above 2133 MHz should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 1.2V DDR4 module add when the system runs all day?

The stick operates at 1.2V without a heat spreader, so it adds minimal heat and draws standard DDR4 power during continuous use.

What motherboard slot and memory type does the CM1024642133DIMM require to work?

It needs a 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slot that supports unbuffered, non-ECC memory at 2133MHz CL15.

Will this 8GB stick run alongside the original memory in an Alienware Area 51 R2 or Aurora R5?

Yes, it is guaranteed compatible with those desktops, which have four slots and support up to 64GB total DDR4 capacity.
