Precision 5280 Memory Upgrade and Compatability
Do I have to find 2666mhz memory modules or can I install 3600mhz memory into my Precision 5280 desktop?
I want to upgrade from 32gb (2x16gb) to 64, (4x16gb)
I bought Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro modules and I keep getting invalid memory beeps and lights.

If you CPU is Intel Core X, you will need to get UDIMM such of this.

Assuming your system is the 5820 (I don't think there is a 5280 Precision) and following up on what @Chino de Oro has correctly posted, this is from the service manual specs for your system:
Specifications
Type
● DDR4 ECC RDIMMs - Supported with Xeon W Series CPUs
● DDR4 Non-ECC UDIMMs supported with Core X Series CPUs

Hello Collegues.
Got an used Precision5280T, i7-7820x - with 2x16GB TP9W1 RAM Modules. Runs fine.
As this system has 2 Mem Controllers, I assume, having 4 same Modules allow better memory bandwith. Correct?
I couldn‘t find these specific RAM Modules anymore. So I bought a 4x16 Set
replaced the 2x16 GB originals, tried to start with only the 4 Corsair banks.. but beside some sad booops, the system did nothing, and went off
Afterwards I re-installed the original RAM, System startet perfectly.
A 2nd check, with only 2 of the Corsair banks: boops and off.
Do I have to replace with e.g 3200 16cas Modules 4x16 instead?
Corsair Vengeance LPX. 4 x 16GB, 3200 MHz, DDR4-RAM, DIMM
Thanks for advise.
