PSU Corsair HX 1000W
CPU i7 920
RAM Dominator 1600MHz 3x2Gb

No I think he means to put the numbers currently in your bios in the template so anyone helping you to overclock knows what you currently have.  So they have a beginning platform.

Exactly what Andy said. 
 
It may also be a good idea to post screenshots of cpuz and realtemp.  If you don't have these two programs, you can download them.  There are a few more threads in this forum that can give you an example of the screenshots.
