depends on your cpu and if it can take that high speed, what speed are you looking to install and what is your cpu?

You've got an ASUS-proprietary "ROG" H170 mobo, i7-6700, "8GB up to 32GB" of dual-channel DDR4-2133.
It should be able to overclock memory if the firmware hasn't locked XMP out. But I don't think by a whole lot, your G20-H170 mobo probably doesn't have all the VRMs and overclocking features that are embedded in mainstream ROG mobos."All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." - Douglas Adams

Simple answer: There are no memory performance options in the BIOS. Unless it somehow automatically steps up, doubtful. From my numerous posts asking about memory upgrades in the past, not a single person chimed in with upgrading and seeing any difference. You could probably upgrade, but you'll run at whatever the BIOS was at with the previous ram/stock.
Someone would have to purchase better RAM, then use a utility to see what it's running at.Asus G20CB - Core i7 6700, Nvidia GTX980, 16GB Ram, 256GB SK Hynix SSD, 1TB Samsung SSD.

Indeed, the best you can do is to buy 2133Mhz SO-DIMM RAM with the lowest latency and timing possible. In DDR4, the quickest i founded was some Crucial and HyperX ram with 13-13-13 timing (the last values between both are similar), then get a 13 CL (or CAS).
