Not entirely sure how this would affect someone on the lga1151 equivalent of the gaming K6 board.

Yes if its i2c it can can both r/w on the same line, I check now the DDR4 pinout and it has SCL on pin 118 and SDA on pin 238, after a bit of thinking my guess its the problem lies in the G/Skill memory, maybe the Ryzen memory controller assigns 2 different I2C addresses for the channels but the G-Skill module is expecting just one for all 4 sticks, regardless of channel. But this again is just a guess, I am no expert regarding this, what bugs me is not to inability for the utility to detect the modules in channel B and change colors, its the inability of the modules to work at the full speed in channel B, this should not happen at all, they should works in both channels at 3200MHz as the poster said

sometime ago ive managed to wipe spd eeprom on one of mine ram in notebook
as i was trying to change something in my led panel (edid eeprom) as both resided on 0x50 adress, just on different controller well that ram was fixed later, i hooked that ram to dvi (yes video output xD) and reflashed it from its i2c controller anyway..that spd should be readable , otherwise your pc wouldnt know what your ram got did u guys enable i2c controllers in uefi? as far as i know i2c can send write protect(on/off) on sda signal and asrock seems to have bunch of i2c unnamed controllers to enable in uefi Edited by kerberos_20 - 22 Apr 2018 at 5:43pm |

My suggestion would be to return the RAM and buy some non RGB stuff, or choose some RAM with just one permanent color if you really need the bling, this issue will not be fixed anytime soon this is clear, many motherboards don't have the trace lines that link to the memory flash RX/TX, some have this only on 1-2 slots as seems to be the case here, until recently with this RGB craze production motherboards did not require access to program the RAM controller chip (alongside the RAM firmware G-Skill added the RGB code) this seems to be a most stupid move because in case of a crash/power outage you end up with a "dead" memory stick ( you can revive it with a memory programmer, but who has those things and the original memory firmware...?).
Maybe I am wrong but as far as I know only Corsair used a separate flash for RGB data, but that too is accessed using the same pins? Regardless, if the motherboards allows access to the "debug" pins, a good implementation of this can exist, these seems mostly G-Skill's fault for the bad implementation, but its weird that it works on 2 slots and the other 2 not. Also all of this should only affect the RGB stuff, but if you say you can plug in first channel and it works at rated speed, but in the 2nd channel it doesn't, make all of this very weird, the memory channels on the CPU could be damaged, or the memory slots with dust in them, because from a semiconductor/physical standpoint both channels are the same just doubled. So the culprits here can be: a. a bad memory channel inside the CPU (damaged silicone) b. bad traces that lead to the socket from said memory channel/slot c. dust/dirty memory slot

Just wanted to bump this since this constant rainbow is really annoying. I found a post where a user was overclocking his Trident Z ram on a Gaming K6 board and successfully overclocked on both the A2/B2 channels as well as A1/B2. I couldn't replicate his success - using slots A1/B1 I get boot errors and stuck at 2133MHz.

Asrock doesn't communicate anything to their customers. Typical chinese company.
