In an CPUz bench I noticed that my ram speeds were far slower than they should be here is what it said btw...
Frequency
1796.4 MHz (DDR4-3592) - Ratio 3:54
Slot #1 Module
G.Skill 8192 MB (DDR4-2133) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: F4-3600C18-8GTZRX
Slot #2 Module
G.Skill 8192 MB (DDR4-2133) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: F4-3600C18-8GTZRX
Slot #3 Module
G.Skill 8192 MB (DDR4-2133) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: F4-3600C18-8GTZRX
Slot #4 Module
G.Skill 8192 MB (DDR4-2133) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: F4-3600C18-8GTZRX

What does task manager/perf/memory show for ram speed?

DDR stands for Dual data rate.
Cpu-Z reads actual data rate.
Frequency 1796.4 MHz = 1800MHz actual data rate = 3600 Dual data rate.

If your ram was running at 2133MHz, Cpu-Z would read it as Frequency 1066MHz. The 2133MHz in the ram title (G.Skill 8192 MB (DDR4-2133) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: F4-3600C18-8GTZRX) is the default speed of the ram.

XMP applies to All sticks populated, not just 2x sticks.
