Unfortunately, H series motherboards don't really allow "overclocking" per say in regards to the actual ram clock speeds, but you can certainly tighten the timings to get a substantial improvement out of your memory. Start off by tightening your primary timings as much as you can, then work on tertiary timings, then secondary timings. You should see a pretty decent uplift in performance from that alone.
