Looking for suggestion for a new motherboard for my main setup!! LGA 1151 (300 Series) Is it worth it tho???

Hi guys!

I have issue with my motherboard (ASRock Z370 Extreme4). Can't overclock my ram properly (G.SKILL TridentZ 2 x 16GB F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW). Stuck at non OC speed (2133 if I remember correctly)

I have contacted ASRock and they can only suggest me to RMA my MB but I cannot afford having a non working computer while board's away...

By the way, I have checked my ram (tested it with memtest86 no issue)

Any suggestion for another board?

Is it a good investment?

Will it worth buying something else for better speed?

Here is what I have for setup right now:

CPU: i7-8700K

Video Card: ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti

Memory: G.SKILL TridentZ 2 x 16GB F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW

HDD: SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB MZ-V6E250BW,M.2 / 2X Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200 RPM

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Side note: Looking for another GPU in near future (if there's stock in the future -_-U )I didn't wanted to change to another CPU (intel/Amd) since I don't find my setup that outdated yet.

I mainly use this PC for gaming, moding games, multitasking a lot of things at the same time etc.

Thanks for helping me out!!! As you can probably read here.. I'm French Canadian so my phrasing could be better but I can understand everything quite well, please don't judge me
