OWC 8GB DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM

This OWC module is an 8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 SODIMM built for Alienware M15 R5 and R6 laptops. It runs at 1.2V and uses a 260-pin unbuffered non-ECC design. The part targets owners of those specific models who need a straightforward memory increase.

Installing the 260-pin SODIMM

Installation is a standard DIY task: power off the laptop, open the memory door, align the notch on the 260-pin stick, press firmly until the clips lock, then close the cover. The most common issue is seating the module unevenly, which prevents the system from recognising the upgrade.

1Rx8 single-rank layout

The stick is organised as 1Rx8, a single-rank 8GB configuration that matches the memory topology expected by the Alienware M15 R5 and R6. Builders whose chassis requires dual-rank modules or a different pin count should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the module runs at 3200 MHz and CL22 after installation?

Check the memory speed and latency in the BIOS or with a tool such as CPU-Z; they should report 3200 MT/s and CL22 at 1.2 V.

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to install it?

The package contains one 8 GB 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM; no extra parts or tools are required for the laptop's memory slot.

Which version should I pick for an Alienware M15 R5 or R6?

This part number 3S2D41R808GB is built and tested for both the R5 and R6 models, so select this 8 GB stick for either system.
