The motherboard only supports up to 2666mhz. Have you tried selecting 2666 in the BIOS?

 

[NuKe_Volticity]

my motherboard can support up to 3600 mhz
all i want to know is that what frequency is safe for my ram

This motherboard? https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B365M Phantom Gaming 4/index.asp#Specification

2666mhz is the max according to the spec.

There is no special safe number with overclocking. With RAM just keep the voltages at a safe level, what speed is achievable is trial and error. 2 RAM kits of the same make and can have different outcomes.

so how do i do voltages safe
is xmp automaticlly does voltages

1.35-1.40v seem to be accepted by most as safe for DDR4 but others say up to 1.45v. Different reviewers do have differing opinions, again there is no exact number. It is not like 1.35 is safe and 1.36 becomes unsafe, it comes down to what is perceived as acceptable risk and unlikely to impact component life. I’d suggest Googling overclocking guides and just read a few.
