So bad is my motherboard?
3733 speed is not bad, I would be happy with that. Otherwise purchase a ASRock Z370 extreme4 for better memory overclocking.

Yup. Same ICs as my RAM, Samsung B dies. Poster can try relaxing the timings and setting DRAMv at 1.45 and bumping up to 3866 MHz. Maybe 18-18-18-42. G. Skill has a lifetime warranty on DDR4 sets with those ICs, that call for 1.5v, so you still have some headroom. Setting that Giga board at 1.45 DRAMv will result in less than that figure as the actual voltage, too. If it boots like this, test for stability. May end up going to 1.20v on VCCSA and VCCIO for stability. I didn't need to add any offset to uncore voltage, but it's something to keep in mind if you're getting close but can't get that last bit of stability.
Once benchmarking starts you'll find very little difference between 3866C18 or C19 and a tighter 3733C15 or C16, and zero difference noticed in actual usage. RAM speeds over 3600 MHz are mostly just for fun and bragging rights. Which are perfectly good reasons, IMO. LOL
