When it comes to high speed RAM there is the eternal discussion of:
1. Did you check the QVL for RAM for your motherboard ?
Find it here

2. Did you check the QVL from GSkill for supported motherboards that you can access by choosing a model of RAM
https://www.gskill.com/products/1/165/Desktop-Memory

These lists give the model of RAM that have been successfully tested with your motherboard.
Note that these manufacturers can not test all the thousands of RAM models or motherboards. Therefore RAM not on these lists can perfectly function, simply you will have to try yourself.

Note that GSkill doe not provide a single 3600 MHz model tested successfully with your motherboard. Other brands of 3600 MT/S can however be found on the QVL for your mobo

Thanks for that! I didn't know about QVL. Might get the Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB RAM 2x16GB . Thanks for the advice!
