In my personal opinion, it isnt best to someone else's results (mainly using their voltages) as different CPU's overclock differently using different volts, so i would say, test for voltages yourself, its slow but if you going to overclock, you should do it properly to learn, so incrementaly decrease the voltages while stress testing after each increment untill you get crashes, then turn the volts up, and turn the clock speed up as you turn the volts up.
Hope this helps
