Even with people with the same hardware you won't be able to use their settings as no two systems are the same and they will behave differently during overclocking.

All you can do is learn up on the techniques (the guide martini mentioned is a great start) and play with everything till you find something that works.

First thing you need to do is turn off the Auto voltage feature. Before I really started OCing my systems I would leave that feature on. After reading around and playing with my settings I realized that it was generally supplying A LOT more voltage than is required.

So in summation...
1. Read the OCing guide posted
2. Turn off the Auto voltage feature.
