17 R5, RAM upgrade
I am looking for a list of compatible RAM for the Alienware 17 R5. I would like to upgrade from 8GB to 32GB, and want to make sure I purchase RAM that will work.
Thanks in advance.

Try Crucial.com used by many Dell owners. They guarantee ram will work.

I got this one but doesn't run at 2666 MHz. It defaults to the JEDEC (2400 MHz). https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/alienware-17-r5/CT12243658. I've had no luck in getting it to run at higher speeds so far. BIOS, Intel XTU, Alienware command center don't have XMP settings. It **bleep** that Dell has locked out these BIOS settings on an Alienware!

Hi
I have Alienware 17 R5 i7-8750H... The default RAM was 16GB which I hoped would be single stick and I thought of purchasing another 16GB and upgrade to 32GB... But it came with 2 x 8GB :-(... Nevertheless I am looking to upgrade so I have decided to upgrade to 32GB... But I faced a peculiar issue, in dell website they have mentioned that Alienware 17 R5 models is not compatible with 2666MHz RAM modules (link below)...
As per this article my laptop is not compatible with 2666MHz, But when I bought on the website it was clearly mentioned my laptop can handle upto 2666MHz RAM, Already DELL has soft locked 32GB instead of 64GB and this too...
Experts please clarify this issue for me please... I am in dire need of upgrade
