XPS 8930, 3rd party ram for upgrade which has SPD 2666?
I want to upgrade the RAM in my new XPS 8930 from 16GB to 32GB. Can you guys direct me to a 16GB kit (2x8GB) that I can add which have the SPD=2666MHz? It seems some default down to 2133MHz. Which ones have you guys upgraded and had good experience/results with? There are similar previous posts, but all are hazy on the SPD=2666 options out there.

This post claims to have Dell validated OEM part numbers: https://www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8930-Compatible-RAM/m-p/6093588#M12888
In my experience I trust crucial.com to supply memory. Some manufacturers will specify DDR4-2666 but if you dig into the specs the SPD rating is lower; you can only get 2666 MHz if you can tune the memory which the Dell BIOS does not allow; it defaults to the SPD.
