lol running G.Skill 32GB 4.133Mhz 17-17-37 Kit the first time on the Asus Maximus XI Extreme (thanks to the 9900KS)!
Now running (and reaching) 24 hours HCI MemTest Pro and no errors (reaching 2000% coverage).
I would not say faster memory wont help (maybe the sweet spot is a 3200mhz) but the key are the CAS Latency and its subtimings.
BTW: 16gb modules usual dont have very good timings like 4x8gb kits.
look youtube videos and you will see a difference in fps in games (more than you will think).

I find going for higher speed RAM and clocking it at about 75% of its full rated capacity e.g., 36000MHz running at 3200MHz is a good idea

UPDATE: it is quite a challenge to find full specs for RAM. At least secondary specs are hard to find.... I couldn't find any.

I am ordering 32gb in 2 stick next week. since my ram came 4 in a box i will change that 3600mhz qvl in 2 stick. I did see that works better. no idea why.

Yes it is an expensive method of approach. This is why I went for 3600MHZ which is the sweat spot for me at this point.
There are 3 timings that give a specific RAM its specs, 4 if you include the speed RAM can run at in MHz these are Primary, Secondary and Tersuary timings.
Primary timing is CAS latency e.g., 16-16-16-36. You have tRFC, a secondary timing, that works alongside tREFI, a tertiary timing. Every, they are recharged in order, for amount of time. Simply put: tRFC is the amount of time your ram can do nothing, while being recharged. tREFI = the amount of time your ram can do things, before needing recharged.

When it comes with specification the primary timings tCL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS -CR are given usually on product listing, box or manufacturer site. Secondary and teriary timings are set by memory training during post and therefore are not listed. Some of XMP II profiles can include secondary/teriary timings but I'm affraid it is also not listed 🙂

If you want to see timings in OS use memtweakit...or ASRock do a similar program...
