Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte forum.

I would love to be able to help you with a nice little list of settings but I am afraid that is not how overclocking works. It is more of an art than a science and there is a lot of hit and miss involved but the trouble is it is far more miss than hit usually.

I would suggest that you read up on the principles of overclocking your particular platform adn then start having a go. Slowly at first and make sure that you continually write your settings down for reason that will become apparent.

There are many overclocking forums around but one word of warning, a lot of them don't take kindly to anyone asking stupid questions so make sure that you tread carefully. Read lots say little is a good suggestion.
