Hello,
i checked in on Asrock forums to seek some help with new parts that i got today.
I bought:
Steel Legend Z390 (updated to 1.20 UEFI)
16GB Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-4400 DIMM CL19-19-19-39 Dual Kit
i5 9600K
Everything seems to be working, but i cant get the memory over 1066Mhz.
the XMP Profiles and the hardware description promises 2200Mhz (pc4400).
Loading time on start is pretty long too.. and i get a screen of a faulty bootup which skips after 10 secs and its loading windows afterwards without error.
so the uefi event log says on every bootup "memory size different"..
i switched the modules in the slots i every possible way.. nothing helped.. even single channel with 1 module doesnt help..
should i return the RAM? most likely incompatible to asrock then?
thanks in advance for any reply.

You did not provide the exact model of the ram. Look for it on the QVL. If it is not listed, return it then get ram that is listed on the QVL.
