I Overclocked my I5 3570K to 4.2 GHz with a Manual Voltage of 1.120 and Ran Prime 95 Blend and after four hours I got an Error so I bumped up the Voltage to 1.130 and after 6 hours of Blend I got no Errors or crashes. Am I good?

73 degrees is a pretty good temperature at full load, as Intel processors only throttle when they get to the 90+ temperature range. So you should be safe

Intel burn test is a brute force test, which will highlight any major instabilities , 73 degrees? any cpu temp is irrelevant unless the the room temp is accounted for.
Example: I'm in the UK if i OC in the winter the room temp can be about 8degrees so i should be prepared for higher temps when im in the summer when room temps are 30 degrees.
I would recommend prime 8+ hours , however you have run it for 6, it will most likely be stable

I take a different view. If you use your PC and it crashes .. you dont have a stable overclock.
No other testing required.
