Are ASUS TUF MARK 1 and G SKILL TRIDENTZ DDR4 2x8GB 3600 compatibles?

Both one and the other do not appear in the QVL list.
 
Solution
Yes they are.

From the motherboard's memory QVL page (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-Z270-MARK-1/HelpDesk_QVL/),

The QVL labelled "Z270_PRIME_TUF_STRIX_Memory_QVL", updated 2017/02/24, (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/TUF_Z270_MARK1/Z270_PRIME_TUF_STRIX_QVL.pdf?_ga=2.64658728.627901775.1498259541-1428616915.1495995095) mentions:

Note also that RAMs not listed in the QVL may also work/be compatible (it's just that, it wasn't tested by the manufacturer due to the sheer number of RAMs and limited amount of time to test out all possible configurations).

Oh, I've been looking at the JANUARY list!
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-Z270-MARK-1/HelpDesk_QVL/
-> http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/TUF_Z270_MARK1/TUF-Z270-MARK1_MARK2_Z270-4L_memory_QVL.pdf?_ga=2.124177154.966259428.1498259281-666827034.1498259281
(the third one in the list!)

I was looking for this partnumber(F4-3600C16D-16GTZ) and I could not find it!

According to the last part
That is, the RGB version applies even though it does not appear in the last list, right?
(F4-3600C16D-16GTZR)

Thank you very much for the help! I was not entirely sure about it, and I was in talks to buy the RAM.
