Hi, I have the old i7-8700k (max 2666 MHz) with a Z370 that could max 4000 MHz.

The actual RAM has 3000 MHz per XPM, no problems, only has to be upgraded to 2x 16 GB and not so long ago I wanted to take one with 4000 MHz, unfortunately it goes up to a maximum of 2747 MHz and now I actually thought that a 3600 per XMP without having to intervene deeply in the system.I thought that a 3600 with XMP would only run at a maximum of 2747 MHz per "Ai Tweak" including XMP. Now the question is whether at least 3200 MHz with XMP would work? The base clock is probably 2133, except for the 3000 Mhz with 2x 8 GB

Short version
3000 MHz (2x 8 GB) (DDR4 3000MHz) = no problem with XMP = 3000 MHz
3600 MHz (2x 16 GB) (DDR4 2133MHz) = problems with XMP, no video signal, via "Ai Tweak" and the "Video editing" profile = 2747 MHz
4000 MHz (2x 16 GB) (DDR4 2133MHz) = problems with XMP, no video signal, per "Ai Tweak" and the "Video editing" profile = 2747 MHz

What do you think you can achieve with 4000 and co. if your CPU is only designed for up to 2666 Mhz? It won't be any more, you can put whatever you want into it.

Answer

If you do a lot of video editing, it's nonsense to buy loads of RAM. Retire the 8700k and buy something up-to-date.
I'm currently using a Z790 and 17-14700k with 360 Wakü and also only DDR4 3200 and it goes off like Schmidt's cat.

Hello, I didn't ask myself that question and I'm not an expert.  Sorry

Sorry, I'm a PC specialist. Your question is too complicated for me.
