Alienware Alpha R2 memory upgrade

This 8 GB DDR4 SODIMM is built specifically for the Alienware Alpha R2 mini desktop. It arrives as a new, unbuffered, non-ECC module rated at 2133 MHz with CL15 latency and 1.2 V operation. The 260-pin form factor matches the system's SO-DIMM slots exactly.

Fits the Alpha R2 SO-DIMM slot

Installation uses the single 260-pin socket inside the compact chassis, requiring no tools beyond opening the case. The module runs at standard JEDEC 1.2 V, so it draws no extra power from the small form-factor supply. No heat spreader is fitted, keeping the height low enough for the tight internal clearance.

8 GB capacity for everyday workloads

The 8 GB capacity handles web browsing, office suites and light media editing without paging to storage. Heavier multitasking with large video projects or virtual machines will exceed the available memory. The CL15 timing at 2133 MHz provides standard DDR4 bandwidth for the platform.

Questions about this item

Does the CL15 latency hold steady during sustained workloads?

The module runs at CL15 2133 MHz DDR4 with 1.2 V JEDEC timings, so latency remains consistent under continuous use.

How much heat or noise does the module add when the system runs all day?

There is no heat spreader and the 1.2 V DDR4 design keeps thermal output minimal, adding no audible noise during extended operation.

What must the Alienware Alpha R2 already have for this 260-pin SODIMM to work?

The Alpha R2 needs a free 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM slot that accepts non-ECC unbuffered memory at 1.2 V.
