After reading some guides and raising/lowering settings I think I have a stable overclock at 4.5GHz @ 1.21 vcore. Now I have some questions about some settings I am not too sure about:

Ring Ratio: I read this should be set manually to my CPU's stock setting instead of being left on Auto, so I set it to 35. What exactly does this do and is this the correct setting to use?

VCCIN Voltage: it's set to auto currently and reads 1.9 in the BIOS but I am wondering if I should set it to 2 so higher overclocks would be more stable?

CPU Ring Voltage: set to auto currently, I don't really know if I should change this

Any advice is welcome! I'd like to push 4.6GHz but I think I have to set some settings I haven't touched yet to achieve this.
 
Ring ratio - leave on 35 untill you have finished overclocking the core.

Ring voltage - not needed untill you are overclocking the cahce (ring)

VCCIN - 1.9v should be plenty untill you start using high levels of vcore, but you can try ranges from say 1.6v to 2.0v, but I would leave it at 1.9v untill you feel like your not getting more stable when adding vcore
