It simply does not support DDR4.
Your motherboard is based on H61 chipset which doesnt not support ddr4. The RAM slots on the board too, can only have 240 pin RAM whereas DDR4 is 288 Pin and would not fit.

Dont worry though as you wont likely notice a difference between ddr4 and ddr3 even if you did use it

Why doesn't it support DDR4? 2 reasons:

DDR4 is a different size, and has different number of pins than DDR3. It would not fit in the RAM slots on that motherboard.

The memory controller (which is integrated into the CPU package) needs to be designed to support the new DDR4 standard. The CPUs that are compatible with that mobo all came out before DDR4 was released, so their memory controllers won't support it.
