I have the following RAM kit installed in my PC: G.Skil TridentZ RGB 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4-3600. As you can see, its advertised speed is 3600MHz. However, it runs at only 2666MHz in my PC. I inquired about this issue on Reddit and was told that the cause may be that the RAM isn't listed in my motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendor List), which you can see here: QVL for Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) (click on the second link, which is the QVL for Ryzen 3000 Series Desktop Processors).
Prior to learning this, I tried to overclock the RAM to its advertised speed and failed; I manually set the frequency to 3600MHz, set the voltage to 1.4v, and set everything else to auto, but my PC would not boot.
After learning this, I tried to overclock the RAM again, but this time I used AMD's DRAM Calculator to guide me; I input all of the values produced by DRAM Calculator, but - once again - my PC would not boot.
What do you think that I can do to get this RAM to run at 3600MHz?
By the way, the following are my PC's full specifications:
