You cannot overclock non-K series chips as far as I'm aware.

The i5-4590 is a LOCKED processor. This means it's frequency (Hertz) cannot be increased by any means.

For a locked CPU (Non-K) the only way that I know to OC is to increase the base clock. Bclk is 100 MHz at default, but it can be increased slightly to 103 - 105 MHz, but I would not recommend it. Increasing the Bclk also OC's the RAM, the SATA bus, PCIe bus and all other items that depend on Bclk.

There is one Non-K CPU that can be OC'ed: the Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258.
