I overclocked to 4.2Ghz with 1.125v and it seemed Stable but I saw that after playing a game my highlighting box and taskbar became really laggy so I went to 1.13v. Should this help?

hi for u r sure while oc ur cpu i5 3570k ivy bridge can handle temp upto 100c max then it restart so ur sure make thing like cpu temp never go ups upto 80 for ur own safety i recommend 80 for max also ^ above use prime 95 or 3dmark benchmark to test the stability too NOTE make sure u using after market cooler not an STOCK COOLER OTHERWISE U WILL DAMAGE UR CPU

It cannot handle 100c. At that temperature the metal will begin to warp slowly, and it just takes a tiny change for it to be gone. 80 is the absolute highest you want to go, 70 is safest for a stable, long life. You can usually overclock a bit with a stock cooler, it doesn't matter what you have as long as your temps are safe. Run Prime95 for 6 hours, if it does not reach 75c under full load, and does not crash or have any errors, your overclock is stable. If it has errors, increase the voltage to 1.135v and run Prime95 again. This increase in voltage WILL increase your temperatures. If it hits 80c, you will have to reduce your overclock to something cooler and more stable until you can get a better cooler. Your cooler may actually be sufficient, just not performing at its full potential due to bad ventilation, dust, or a bad application of thermal paste.
