Memory compatible with Motherboard?

[virdee2004]

I have got a new motherboard and was thinking about getting some ddr4 3000MHz Ram 16gb and was wondering if it is compatible with the motherboard.

Yes, it will be perfectly compatible.

For future information, most motherboard vendors publish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for memory kits...

I think that's the link to the QVL for your board. ONLY the specific models listed have been tested and "optimized" for your board (i.e. the memory timings have probably been set, etc.) So even if you see the brand name on the list ("HyperX" ,etc), you also need to check the specific model (AX4U360038G17-BRZ or whatever).
