Trouble overclocking RAM

Hi guys, so in my build I have my,
i7 8700k (stock clock)

G.skill Trident Z RGB 32gb (2x16)  3866MHz 18-18-18-38

Asus Prime Z370-A

 

But no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the memory to run faster than 3600MHz at 1.35v
I have tried upping the voltage to no avail,
Any help would be appreciated

Have you touched any other voltages?

 

And if you haven't found it already, MageTank has an excellent memory overclocking guide that you can find here:

Haven't messed with any other voltages, this is my first time doing this at all, let alone with a $700 kit that ended up costing me around $910, so I am worried about trying anything, having said that I give the linked guide a read

I'm Australian, So higher price, plus postage, plus more postage to RMA the first kit i got (one stick died, no OC) and throw in the cheapest 8gb stick I could get to be able to use for another month which was $120 on it's own
