DDR4-3466 won't be plug-n-play on all CPUs. Manual tweaking might be required to stabilize the memory.
Personally, Memtest86 is useless for DDR4 stability testing and I would avoid it. You're better off with HCI Memtest or the Google Stressapptest for Linux, with the second being the best test.

With the amount of memory kits that manufacturers put out, it's impossible to always have an updated QVL. Usually if you don't find it on the motherboard manufacturer's website, you can check with the memory manufacturer.
I'm using Corsair memory with my i7-7700K, and it's been awesome. My i7's IMC is subpar though, so I only got as far as DDR4-3866.

What I would do in your case is make sure the motherboard's running the latest BIOS. Then test your system at stock defaults. If everything works as planned, enable XMP and test for DDR4 stability. If your test fails at DDR4-3466, you can either manually tweak the different memory timings and voltages to stabilize or just run your memory at a lower frequency.

Great advice - Thanks! I've actually been thinking of returning my i7 and getting an unlidded one. I am willing to spend a little more to get some better memory as well. What Corsair memory are you using?
Concerning the QVL, I just find it odd that Asus advertises support for Corsair in Aura yet no RGB memory is in their QVL..
