How do i oc my i5-3570k?

Ive re sized your pictures,Just a heads up next time if you post images re size them using a website called "IMGUR" or Photobucket can do the same. 
As for the overclocking,First turn off Turbo Boost and auto overclock...in fact id reset the bios to stock defaults before beginning then you know everything is stock.
Adjust your CPU ratio to what you want,for example its 42 at the moment = 4.2Ghz.
If your wanting 4.5Ghz then set it to 45 but dont forget the voltages on the CPU..1.25V should be a good starting point on a 3570K for 4.5Ghz ..then you save and run prime95 in windows..if its unstable try increasing the voltage a little..if its stable you could try dropping voltage (for better temps) until its unstable to get a idea on your sweet point
Also is your memory XMP?...enable that if it is.
I'm no expert on overclocking,But this has always worked for me in the past..im sure someone with more knowledge on this will help out further.

indeed just put youre multi on 45 and the vcore 1.25, and run prime with avx ore better intel burn test, and in the check box put the memory on high atleast, if it passes then you can try to drop the vcore. till it crashes ore you get a blue screen.
if you get one put the vcore 1 click higher then you had before it crasht, then run intelburntest ore prime95 with avx longer.
if it crash then up the vcore again by 1 click and test again.
keep youre temps monitort.
don't go over 75 degrees
the best test I think is linx with avx, I run it always with all the mem avilible for 45 minutes, if it passes I never had a system wat wasent stable.
the linx with avx you can find here.

This is a bit nooby i know.. But does it have to be 1.0250V or do i have to change it 1.2500V?Ive re sized your pictures,Just a heads up next time if you post images re size them using a website called "IMGUR" or Photobucket can do the same.

So it might change between cpu's even if its the same? Im a little scared trying
Yeah, all cpu/processors are different, some are more stable and lower voltages than others, so it's all a luck of the draw.
