Alienware X17 R1 DDR4 SODIMM upgrade

This OWC module adds 8 GB of DDR4 memory to the Alienware X17 R1 laptop. It runs at 3200 MHz with a CAS latency of CL22 and operates at the standard 1.2 V. The 260-pin SODIMM form factor fits the notebook's memory slots directly.

Suits owners wanting a simple capacity increase.

The stick is validated for the Alienware X17 R1, so buyers with that exact model can install it with confidence. It is unbuffered, non-ECC and single-rank, matching the factory configuration. Anyone using a different laptop, a desktop or a system that requires ECC or registered memory should look elsewhere.

3200 MHz DDR4 speed rating

The module's data rate of 3200 MHz (PC4-25600) is the key specification that determines compatibility with the Alienware X17 R1's memory controller. If the platform requires a different speed grade, this part will not be the correct choice.

Questions about this item

Will this 260-pin DDR4 3200MHz module run stably alongside the existing memory in my Alienware X17 R1?

Yes, it is built to JEDEC DDR4 3200 CL22 1.2V specs so it will match the X17 R1's native memory timings and voltage. OWC recommends matching capacity, speed and brand for best results.

How can I verify the 8GB stick is recognised at the correct 3200MHz speed after I install it?

Open Task Manager or BIOS after boot; the memory tab will show 8GB running at 3200MHz (PC4-25600) with CL22 latency.

Does the package contain only the SODIMM or are tools and thermal pads included?

Only the 260-pin SODIMM module is supplied; no screwdriver, thermal pad or additional hardware is included.
