Computer Memory Solutions CM5126412800SOSRL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3L 1600 CL11 1.35V SODIMM memory upgrade

Compatibility with Dell Studio XPS 16

This kit provides 8GB of DDR3L memory in two 4GB SO-DIMM modules built for the Dell Studio XPS 16 with a Core i7 processor. The unbuffered, non-ECC design runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and a low 1.35V operating voltage. It is intended for owners of that specific notebook who want the maximum supported memory.

Check your current configuration

Verify that your Studio XPS 16 has two free 204-pin slots and that the system BIOS recognises DDR3L at 1.35V. The manufacturer notes that modules must be installed in pairs for dual-channel operation. A 64-bit operating system is required to address the full 8GB; otherwise the recognised amount may be limited to 3.5GB or less.

Build and daily handling

Each stick uses major-brand chips on a standard green PCB without a heat spreader, keeping the profile thin for tight laptop bays. The 204-pin edge connector seats with a firm click and the low voltage reduces heat during extended sessions. Because the kit ships as a matched pair, there is no need to mix capacities or speeds after installation.
