Just thought I'd share some interesting results regarding my memory overclocking between a Z370i and 8700k, and Z390i and 9700K (CPU RMA and I accidentally damaged the pins on the Z370).
Out of the box my Z370 overclocked my Micron E Die ram to 4000 Mhz but not much more, but the latest bios allowed it to run at 4100 but it wasnt fully stable.
With the Z390 out of the box 4000 Mhz wouldnt boot, but following updating to the latest bios I achieved the exact same results.
So keep in mind that memory overclocking can improve with newer bioses, and for me it looks like 4000 Mhz is my rams limit for stability, but thats really good for a 2x16 Gb kit.
Not much else different, I just wish I hadn't been so careless to leave my socket open while waiting for my new CPU, my old board got damaged from my dangling AIO cooler.

i was looking for that info. what memory you have? i got z390 e gaming with 9700k. i bent socket pins not long ago, but seems like i managed to fix and runs good now.
I am about to get 4000mhz kit 2x16. but dont know if it will work and what CL to buy. or maybe 4x8?

Look for Crucial Ballistix 3200 CL16. Its cheap and Micron E die, and you can check that with taiphoon burner (spelling might be different). I was also told that the 3000 Mhz CL15 should also be the same, but the 2400-2666 is much slower Micron B die and what my previous ram was (3000 Mhz CL14 max OC on that).
I actually got the new kit not expecting much more than 3600 CL16 and was extremely surprised how good it is.
2x16 is not guaranteed to get to 4000 Mhz, but it seems like they should most be comfortable with 3600 CL14. The 2x8 Gb has been listed on a lot of extreme OCing forums and pushed up to and above 4800 Mhz on some lucky kits. Even if you just get CL14 3600 out of it its still a bargain for that.
The great thing is the 2x8 Gb costs £78, and 2x16 Gb £150-£160 in the UK, meanwhile Samsunb B Die can cost more than double that and the only thing its does better is tighter secondary and tertiary timings.
I'm going to see if I can get the right tools to try and fix the pins on my Z370, or try appealing to asus support. I could upgrade my backup rig if I can get it fixed which is currently just a G4560 and H170 board or sell it. This was basically my first ever CPU RMA and I completely overlooked putting the socket cover back on after taking it out and waiting for my new one. At least I've learned this now and it wont ever happen again.

your ballistics 3200 cl16 kit worked at 4000mhz?;)
i need 4000mhz to be honest not less. i am even ready to change mobo if it requires so. maybe aorus, seems like people dont have troubles to run 4k+ without any manual adjustment. I have no idea how to OC RAM, so i need something to work out of the box.
It seems like crusial not on the list for qvl 4000mhz. and they dont sell 2x16 kits also. I dont know whether its true or not, but i have read that 9700k is better with 2 slots working rather than 4.
