You don't need to "overclock the motherboard" In your BIOS you need to enable XMP to support the ram at full speed. After that see if its stable, if not you likely need to overclock the CPU a bit.

This guide should help

So, I did a little tuning and I got the Timings to 19-25-25-45 default Frequency at 2934.18mhz so I'm slowly going there. the timings are correct but It's not at the 4000mhz
