Upgraded RAM - not sure if they are running at full speed.

Troubleshooting

Hi,

I just upgraded from 16 gb 3000Mhz RAM's to 32gb 3600 Mhz.

I went into bios and activated the D.O.C.P profile for the new set of RAM.
After i saved the BIOS settings the PC tried to boot twice, before succesfully booting the third time.
When i look in task manager -> memory, it shows 32 gb memory with a speed of 3600 MHz.
But if I go back into BIOS and look under DRAM Status it looks like this:
DIMM_A1: N/A
DIMM_A2: Corsair 16384MB 2133Mhz
DIMM_B1: N/A
DIMM_b2: Corsair 16384MB 2133Mhz

The D.O.C.P profile for 3600 MHz still seems to be active.
Can someone help clarify if my new RAM's are actually running at 3600MHz?

Also, when i received the RAM's, i noticed that it on the box it is labled: "Supports Intel"
Is this a bad set of RAM's for my AMD setup? The dealers description said that the Corsair CMK32GX4M2d3600C18 was optimized for all DDR4 systems.

My setup:
MB: Asus Prime B-450m-a
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3600 C18 BK DC - 32GB
GPU: Asus STRIX RTX 2070 8GB
SSD: 480GB Kingston A1000 M.2 NVME SSD
PSU: 550w FSP HyperK 80+
