Excuse my english.
In fact, it is frustrating that each company throw the ball to the other. I have contacted Asus, to see what they tell me. With the previous bios, 2003, I could activate the XMP without problems, although it randomly had double starts. I bought these memories in particular (Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) because according to the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming manual they complied with the specifications (QVL). Something has touched in this last bios, 3016, and they have craped.
