I have reached a stable overclock on my i5 3570k to 4.2ghz and i have the offset voltage at -.090 and in CPU-Z my core voltage is 1.072 under stress. I was just wondering that since this is stable should I try to bring the voltage even lower or just leave it as it is....

Just use your computer how you would normally and if you get random bluescreens (Especially with a 0x1e blue screen code) then bump the vcore a little

have you run stability tests using something like prime95? run that and coretemp (monitors cpu temp and load) and post your temperatures after 5 minutes. If they're good then stress test it for 6 hours to ensure its stable.

You can always go lower if you want. One thing to take note of though, even if your computer boots up after setting an offset vcore like -0.100.
Check the event viewer then look for WHEA Logger errors. There are times that stress testing your cpu at that settings will not cause any BSOD or error. Event viewer will record WHEA ones. That means that your vcore is too low.

For 4.2 that voltage is normal.
