But it definitely won't be a first. Something tells me it won't be a last either.

I have no hope for this anymore.

G.Skill is now actively blocking all not positive comments about their RGB Ram failure sticks, including blocking forum accounts like mine, I cannot prove it, all my explanations was polite and helpful.

Suprising that in every place where there is comment that some configuration is not possible to work, suddenly some sock puppets appear that just say it is working for them, without any precise explanation how to achieve it.

Go find it for yourself and good luck.

Just wanted to add that I have the same issue. A1/B1 works, A2/B2 I am stuck with Rainbow (I don't mind it that much actually but would like to configure it to be something different). I am on X399 Taichi, so this is probably with all Ryzen boards. 

Contacted both ASRock and G.Skill support.

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

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.

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
