Hi, I've recently bought new parts for my PC, and I got the Asrock x570 phantom gaming 4 along with the following memory sticks:

Unfortunately I've made a mistake before purchasing and didn't read it properly, as a result I was confident that this model is in the list, but it seems like it isn't:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Phantom Gaming 4/index.asp#MemoryPS

I'm able to push it up to 2666 by increasing the voltage to 1.35(which is the voltage that should be supported with 3200), I could try increasing the voltage further to see if it will possibly help, but first I'm not sure I want to do that, and second I'm not sure if it would even help.

Would love to hear some suggestions on what I should do. Should I return the memory(don't even know if it's still possible..), also if I'll return the memories I'll first need to get new memories as I don't have other memories to replace with.

Thanks!
 
Solution
Already tried that though 😛

Well I actually got in touch with amazon and I have 30 days to return the item, I believe I could purchase another set of sticks and get it before I need to return the old sticks.
Do you have any recommendations from amazon? I actually searched and didn't find much in a normal price range.
I don't want 4 sticks of 8GB ram as I want to be open for future upgrades, I could be ok with 1 stick of 32GB maybe, but according to the QVL there were barely any options.
I did saw this which seems to be in the QVL:

But that is CL22? Not sure if it's really good...
well last choice is up to you on this but this ram do well on my system see my specs .

RTX 2080 would probably do well on my system as well, but considering the price it's just not something I want right now 😀
I'd also rather have myself open for future RAM upgrades than being limited by 32GB ram. Of course that it is enough for now, but I probably won't replace my PC for a few good 6-8 years.
