misleading advertising. 1.2V - 2666MHz
Misleading advertising. 1.2V - 2666MHz, only if you have access to XMP in the bios to get 1.35V - 3200Mhz

This product was not compatible with my XPS 9570
This product is listed as 100% compatible for the XPS 9570. I was told by two separate service reps that this is in fact 100% compatible but I was unable to get my XPS 9570 to even recognize this RAM. I have since found articles on reddit citing the fact that this component has compatibility issues. Beyond this its concerning that instead of trying to fix my problem crucial doubled down telling me I was wrong. Maybe my machine is faulty but it works fine with the 2 other RAM kits I had tested.

Only works with XMP profile for 3200MHz
Says it is compatible with the ASUS-mini PN50 on the crucial website but will only work at 2666 19-19-19-43.
XMP profile access needed for 3200MHZ. I suspect these are tuned with Jedec 3200MHz 1.35v when ordered directly from crucial.

misleading
Installed this in an Asus PN51 and it only runs at 2667, there is no setting to allow higher speeds in the bios, Asus state that the PN51 will run 3200. Crucial claim that this ram is 100% compatible with the PN50, they have not updated their checker to even include the PN51, but it is not going to run slower than the previous model. This ram is not 100% compatible with the PN50.

Due to the site not allowing me to reply to Crucial, or to edit my initial review, I am posting it again with a reply:
The Asus uefi does not include XMP settings, or any other ram specific settings. This product is not 100% compatible and is falsely advertised buy Crucial.

Not Compatible with MSI Trident 3 9th
Crucial site claimed that this is compatible with Trident 3 system. After purchasing and installing the RAM, I found that it will only set it at 2666 and CL19. Could have purchased some less expensive RAM at this spec, and even though XMP profile is 3200, MSI Trident 3 does not automatically set it or have an option to force or OC the RAM. Disappointed. Please remove this from the list of compatible RAM.

RAM cannot operate at full speed in ASUS ROG laptop.
this ram is sold as 3200 mhz, but asus has locked users out of ram timings and xmp style settings in bios. so this ram kit only runs at 2666 mhz. Not what I paid so much money for!

NOT 100% COMPATIBLE
This RAM doesn't run at the advertised speed because my laptop apparently doesn't have XMP options? This website says guarantees 100% compatibility. False advertising.

Not compatible with precision 5760 or 5560.
Despite technical specifications being correct, and compatible according to Crucial advisor tool, installation in either a Dell precision 5560 or 5760 laptop results in an "invalid or unsupported memory module" error. I'm sure the ram itself is probably fine when it works, but compatibility is an issue with Dell.

Maybe some of you need to learn how to use a bios?
I see so many complaints about this rams compatibility. First of all, if your mobo supports the speed it shouldn't be a problem. If XMP isn't supported, learn how to adjust speeds manually in BIOS!!

Great Performance RAM
Great product. Since there is no reply option to comments. Please note these Ram are 1.35 volts unless you are running a top tier gaming laptop or a work station laptop ensure your board can support this voltage because most laptop supports 1.2 volts. Most laptop under clock the memory card that has higher speed. You can use the matching speed but it best the get the 3200 and let it under clock that way it runs cooler in high stress scenarios.

Not fully compatible with Dell Precision 7560
I purchased 4 x 8GB modules. I can enble XMP only when 2 of them are installed. As soon as I install all the 4 modules, the laptop won't boot. The only way I can use the 4 modules is if I disable the XMP profile, which makes the laptop run a 2666MHz instead of the advertised 3200MHz
