Since you are using AIDA64 then the best is to run a stability test but only with memory and cache tests. It will load the memory to ~97% and also will stress memory controller so you know that all is stable. I'm usually testing it for 1h+.

It's easier to overclock when you know what memory chips are under the heatsinks. Download Thaiphoon Burner. It's free and will tell you some more about memory without removing heatsinks. It's also easier to other forum members to give any advice based on memory chips.

This memory looks like can do 3200-3466 on your motherboard, matter of timings and voltages. I would try 3200 16-16-16, 16-18-18, 15-17-17 1.35V and 3466 16-18-18 1.35-1.40V. Maybe it will work at 3600 but hard to say as Ryzen 2000 doesn't like too high memory clock. If you can make it work at 3600 then 16-18-18, 17-18-18, 17-19-19. To make CL15 or 17 work you have to disable geardown mode in BIOS.

If you see some instability at 3466+ then first check SOC voltage at 1.15-1.20V manually. It shouldn't need more than 1.15V at this clock but hard to say how motherboard is managing voltages.
