Its really as easy as navigating the bios to the memory section and changing the timing settings to manual mode. Then adjust to match the setting for the ram. These numbers are your major timings you are concerned with the others use either default values or automatic settings: 10-11-10-30 which break down to CAS 10, rRCD(RAS to CAS) 11, tRP 10, tRAS 30 your ram should also be 1T memory if you see a setting for it.

Nice to know about adjusting the timings/voltages.
Any suggested further docs or resources on this
is of keen interest to me. Maybe an example?

I never had to adjust timings/voltages before. Then again,
I need to poke around the Gigabyte BIOS
as these are my first Gigabyte mobos. Very advance

Thanks to all responders. I'll give it a go and post
back if there is any further issues.
