At a high level: 288pin DDR4 of at least 2133/2400/2666MHz and, depending on validation, faster speeds.

Ryzen boards can be a little tricky - so any specific kit not on the QVL isn't quite "guaranteed" to reach it's full rated speed - in this case, 3200MHz.

You can find the RAM QVL here:

That specific kit doesn't appear on the QVL, but the 3000MHz kit does:
