Single 16 GB DDR5 SODIMM for Alienware AMD

This OWC module delivers 16 GB of DDR5 5200 memory in a 262-pin SODIMM form factor. It runs at CL42 latency and 1.1 V without ECC or a heat spreader. The stick is validated for Dell Alienware M16 R1 AMD and M18 R1 AMD laptops.

Suits owners of those two Alienware models adding

Builders working on other laptop platforms, desktops, or systems that require ECC, registered DIMMs, or a different pin count should look elsewhere. The module is also not intended for configurations that demand lower latency than CL42 or a voltage other than 1.1 V.

Handles everyday multitasking

The single 16 GB rank provides headroom for running multiple applications and opening bigger projects simultaneously. Capacity runs out when the system needs more than 16 GB total or when a workload benefits from dual-channel bandwidth that a single module cannot supply.

Questions about this item

Does my Alienware M16 R1 AMD need a free 262-pin SODIMM slot to add this 16GB DDR5 module?

Yes, the module uses the standard 262-pin DDR5 SODIMM form factor, so an empty slot is required for installation.

Will this CL42 DDR5 5200 stick run reliably alongside the factory memory already in my M18 R1 AMD?

The module follows JEDEC-standard DDR5 5200 CL42 timings at 1.1 V, matching the spec the laptop’s memory controller expects for compatible operation.

How can I confirm the new 16GB module is recognised at the correct 5200 MT/s speed after I install it?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab or run a system-information utility; the memory section should show 16 GB running at 5200 MT/s.
