Well, your RAM should, in theory, not have an issue with the timings you're using, considering it was meant to run at a higher speed with fairly tight timings already.
HT should remain at 2000MHz - there's zero gain to be had from raising this and the same for its related voltage (Auto is fine, unless you start raising the 'FSB').
NB is always going to be a bit tricky: some boards and CPUs can handle 3000MHz without an issue combined with a minor voltage increase.
Other boards/CPUs (like mine :/), refuse to be stable over anything greater than 2600MHz, no matter what.
The trick is finding the sweet point here and that simply takes a lot of time in stability-testing.
VDDA can remain Auto as well, as this simply helps to feed more voltage to the CPU when stressed.
I cannot find the link that properly explains VDDA, but in effect, it's similar to LLC (Line Load Calibration) in its function.
As has been mentioned before - OC each component individually, before going to the next: CPU max OC, then RAM, etc.
Be patient mate
