Looking to overclock my i5-3570K to 4.5 GHz on an ASUS board.

My specs:

CPU - i5-3570K.
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
Memory - 2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz RAM.
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V LK.
Storage - OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB.
Storage 2 - 2 TB Seagate Barracuda.
Video Card - MSI Twin Frozr II 560 Ti with 2 GB GDDR5.
Case - Corsair 650D (stock fans).
Power Supply - 550W 80+ Gold Modular SeaSonic G Series.
Optical Drive - Generic ASUS one.
OS - Windows 7 64 bit.

I know you guys probably get this atleast twice a day, but I need help overclocking this CPU. I've overclocked my Pentium before, so I know something, but it wasn't a serious OC. The card is not overclocked, nor is the RAM.

Bios --> Frequency & Multiplier

Raise the multiplier and voltage to stable levels that get you your desired 4.5GHz, then test with Prime95 to ensure stability. Make sure your temps stay below 90ºC.
