I have a 4x4GB kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX which has a rated speed of 3000MHz. I only managed to reach 2666MHz (over the default 2133MHz), however, after some bios tweaking. Is there anything I can do to help reach 3000MHz? I know Ryzen's performance is quite dependent on RAM, so I would like to reach this speed.

My specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler) @3.5GHz
GTX 980 Ti Asus STRIX
16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz, running at 2666MHz
Asus PRIME B350M-A
NZXT S340

Well while it's true that Ryzen's performance is dependent on the speed of the memory the CPU's memory controller only supports speeds above 2666mhz in dual channel only. According to your specs you are using 4x4GB kit and while there are some cases where 4 modules will work it's not guaranteed. To test this you can simply remove 2 of your modules and see what speeds you are able to achieve then otherwise you could try adjusting the memory timings.
