How to increase the clock speed of DDR4 to 3600 or higher? I’ve tried overclocking DDR4 but it fails and crashes quickly, resetting my BIOS settings. I adjusted timings and increased system agent/VCCIO voltage, yet it still didn’t stabilize. I’m confused because I previously overclocked DDR3 and those old systems worked. Will you help me figure this out?

Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 UD
BIOS version: F8
Memory: 2x8 = 16GB, Part Number: CM4X8GD3000C16K4 (DRAM from SK Hynix)
Using XMP 3000, but overclocking to 3200 still works, yet I can’t reach 3300 or 3600. I’ve tested it before.
i7-8700 without K being locked—can memory overclocking be done?
3200MHz agent system/VCCIO voltage: 1.25V, but no voltage or health check appears. What does this mean?

I would keep DDR4 3000, but for serious overclocking I'd raise the voltage to 1.4V.

Dram voltage 1.4V is fine, I could try using 1.4V but SK Hynix recommends safer options or XMP voltage. I don't know about any new overclocking methods yet, so I'm just starting out.
