Alienware Alpha ASM100-7980 DDR3L Upgrade

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3L SO-DIMM modules rated at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings. It is built for the Alienware Alpha ASM100-7980 compact desktop. The 1.35V low-voltage design matches the DDR3L requirement of that system.

Simple SO-DIMM Installation

The 204-pin modules insert directly into the SODIMM slots without tools. The system supports a maximum of 32GB across four sockets, so this kit fills half the capacity. Using 1.5V DDR3 instead of the specified 1.35V DDR3L is a common error that can prevent booting.

DDR3L 1600 Platform Limits

The DDR3L 1600 interface caps transfer rates at PC3L 12800 bandwidth. The Alienware Alpha ASM100-7980 firmware limits total memory to 32GB, so 64GB kits will not be recognised. Builders needing more than 32GB must choose a different platform.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 16GB DDR3L 1600 kit is running at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing after installation?

Check the memory frequency and latency in the BIOS or with a tool like CPU-Z; the modules should report 1600 MHz and 11-11-11 timings at 1.35V.

What does the package contain and is anything else required for the Alienware Alpha ASM100-7980?

The box includes two 8GB 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM sticks; no extra parts are needed for the two SO-DIMM slots in this system.

Should I choose the 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3L 1600 kit or the 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1333 DIMM option for my Alpha?

Select the 16GB DDR3L 1600 SO-DIMM kit; the 32GB set uses 240-pin DIMMs at 1.5V which are physically and electrically incompatible with the Alpha.
