Board Requirement:
Newest Gigabyte Motherboard
Problem:
After Checking Gigabyte Board’s BIOS, I found out about RAM timing is not recognize properly by the board itself. When trying to overclock the RAM, you will know that the timing will “self-adjust” to the number/level where it shouldn’t be!
A wrong RAM - Timing will reducing the system performance. To handle this timing issue, you’ll need to make a manual modification on the BIOS. Unfortunately, Gigabyte board’s BIOS don’t have this option on this menu!
Solved!
Gigabyte Manufacturer lock this option to protect their non-techie user from wrong attempt in overclocking. You’ll need to do some trick to display the hidden menu.
By Pressing a combination key : [Ctrl] + [F1], the hidden menu will show up! But you must be careful. Never set the number beyond the timing of your memory modules can handle. You will shorthening your hardware lifespan!

The moral of the story is..”If you need more RAM, better buy physical RAM than manipulating your BIOS”
