16GB DDR3L SODIMM kit for Alienware 17 R2

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3L 1600 SODIMM modules designed specifically for the Alienware 17 R2 laptop. The modules run at 1.35V with CL11 11-11-11 timing and use unbuffered 2Rx8 chips on a 204-pin form factor. Computer Memory Solutions guarantees compatibility with the listed system.

Suits owners restoring

The kit fills two of the four available SODIMM slots and brings the laptop up to 16GB, well within the 32GB maximum supported capacity. Buyers who need the full 32GB limit or who are upgrading a different laptop model should look at other options.

Drops straight into the Alienware 17 R2 memory slots

No heat spreader means the modules fit tight clearance areas without interfering with nearby components. The 1.35V DDR3L voltage matches the platform requirement, freeing the builder from voltage-mismatch concerns. The two-stick configuration leaves two slots open for future expansion if desired.

Questions about this item

My Alienware 17 R2 has four SODIMM sockets — can I add this 16 GB kit alongside the two 8 GB sticks already installed?

Yes, the laptop supports up to 32 GB across four sockets, so adding this 2×8 GB kit to two occupied slots reaches the maximum without removing the original modules.

Will the 1.35 V DDR3L modules run stably with the 1.5 V DDR3 memory currently in my Alienware 17 R2?

DDR3L is backward-compatible with 1.5 V operation; the memory controller will drive both the existing sticks and the new 1600 MHz CL11 kit at the standard DDR3 voltage.

After installing the 204-pin SODIMM pair, how can I confirm the system sees the full 16 GB at 1600 MHz?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab or run CPU-Z; both will show 16 GB total, 1600 MHz speed and 11-11-11 timings for the new kit.
