Ram not OCing to speed set in bios

Hi, I'm still fairly new to overclocking and have a question about my Ram running at the rated speed.  I recently updated my Crosshair VI hero to the new Bios (1403) and noticed it now supported ddr4 speeds of up to 4000mhz.  I tried to get my G.Skill (Trident Z RGB) to run at it's rated speed of 3600mhz, and set the OC for it in the BIOS.  But when I open windows and check task manager, it says the ram is still running at 2133mhz.  

 

Is there something I forgot to do in the bios, or is the task manager not displaying the correct speed?

PSU: Corsair RM850x.  Boot drive: Samsung 960 evo 500gb nvme ssd.  Game storage: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA SSD.  Bulk storage: WD Black 2TB.

Well seems like you haven't done your oc correctly

I have no idea what I did wrong, I set the DOCP to standard and it supposedly set my RAM to run at 3600mhz.

Check Youtube videos for your motherboard or motherboards with similar bios

Thing is, I don't see any videos with the crosshair vi using the same bios update.

Have you checked is your RAM compatible with the motherboard at high frequencies?
