I told you what they were in the PM. Nothing to take a screen shot of. Just work up the multi one click at a time until it is unstable, then increase the vcore (AOD calls it CPU VID) .01v at a time until it is stable again. Then repeat. Watch thermal margins. Keep them in double digits.
I like to stress test with IBT at default settings rather than use prime95 or the built-in stress test in AOD.

Read the lead-in on AOD. It will explain a lot. OC'ing is not for the impatient. It took me hours to get a stable OC. You can't just expect to plug in somneone else's numbers and cut corners.
