In BIOS you need to press the "secret combination" ( I don't remember it for sure, but I think it's Ctrl + F1 ) to "un-hide" the hidden BIOS options like the basic BIOS timings, etc.
They'll appear in a sub-menu of the BIOS ( a already existing one, not a new one )

Yep if it's a Gigabyte mobo, do what BenchZowner says and press Ctrl + F1 inside the BIOS. It will enable the memory timing menu somewhere.
