Compatibility kit for Alienware 17

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3L SODIMM modules built to run at 1600MHz with CL11 timings. Computer Memory Solutions validates the parts against the Alienware 17 platform so they install and post without manual configuration. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the factory memory layout used in that notebook.

Suited for owners restoring stock capacity

The 2x4GB layout fills two of the four available slots and leaves room for later expansion up to the 32GB maximum. Builders who need ECC error correction, registered modules, or a single 8GB stick for a one-slot upgrade will not find those features here. The 1.35V low-voltage spec also means the kit is not a direct swap for standard 1.5V DDR3 systems.

1.35V DDR3L voltage decides fitment

Alienware 17 models that require DDR3L at 1.35V will accept this kit; machines wired only for 1.5V DDR3 will not. No other specification overrides this voltage requirement, so confirming the notebook’s memory voltage is the single step that determines whether the upgrade works.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 1.35 V DDR3L 1600 kit draw when the Alienware 17 runs all day?

The modules operate at 1.35 V instead of the standard 1.5 V, so they generate less heat and consume less power during continuous use.

What must my Alienware 17 already have for this 204-pin SODIMM kit to work?

The laptop needs free 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM slots; the Alienware 17 provides four sockets and supports up to 32 GB total.

Will these CL11 1600 MHz sticks run correctly beside the original memory already in my Alienware 17?

Yes, they are unbuffered non-ECC DDR3L 1600 CL11 modules, matching the speed and timing the Alienware 17 expects.
