Overclocking RAM is possible with any kit, your results may vary however based on what kit you have. Getting a 3000 CL 16 kit to 3200 is possible, but in order to do so you will have to loosen timings and increase the memory voltage and SOC voltage. A good starting point is to load the XMP file in the BIOS, then play around with settings until it boots, to stabilize 3200mhz, you will have to increase voltages and increase timings until it boots. Once you can boot into windows stress test it with a program like memtest86 for a few hours to verify stability. A safe guess for getting that kit at 3200mhz would be 1.1v SOC, 1.4v Memory, and 18-18-18-18-38 timings. That is just a guess so expect to get something better or worse.
Depends on your motherboard. 3000/16 isn't great RAM to start with though so I wouldn't expect much. An Intel platform is more likely to be stable and overclock that RAM than a Ryzen board. However by going up in frequency you also will need to increase cas latency especially on lower end kits like that. So you may end up with a faster clock and slower overall memory.
