DDR4 standard is 1.2 volts. Maximum supported voltage delivery by an Intel CPU is 1.35 volts.

3200Mhz memory is very much overclocked.
2133Mhz is the JEDEC standard for Skylake (Broadwell E now supports 2400Mhz out of the box)

Anything over that is technically an overclock. The memory is rated at 3200Mhz at 1.35 volts, so you will be putting a bit of stress on the memory controller. I would only go above 2666Mhz or so if you are comfortable with messing with settings to get it to boot. More voltage than 1.35 volts may be necessary to get some memory kits stable at high speed.
For memory it depends on type (DDR4) and voltage (1.25) jedec standard. All motherboards should work at jedec standard so the RAM may require more voltage than the motherboard is designed to carry. The RAM is tested at 1.35v so thats all I can conclude.
