120mm AIOs, especially the slim ones, don't perform that great really even compared to half-decent air coolers.
Also, iirc Ivy Bridge weren't soldered like the previous Sandy Bridge chips, and the TIM on them wasn't particularly noteworthy, hence why they ran hotter than the previous gen. It wasn't until either Haswell or Devil's Canyon that they improved the TIM under the IHS.

That's TCASE max not TJUNCTION max which is what the CPU temp sensor reads. TJUNCTION max on the i5-3570K is 105C.

Intel's core temperature sensors are deliberately located on the hottest spots on the core. These sensors control thermal throttling and they are not activated on the 3rd Gen CPUs until 105°C. The thermal shutdown (THERMTRIP) is actually 25°C beyond that which is 130°C.

The Tcase spec can only be accurately measured by embedding a thermocouple into the top of the IHS. This spec is for system builders, not end users. Intel does not expect end users to hack into the IHS of their new CPU with a Dremel.

The relationship between Tcase and the peak core temperature is definitely not +5°C. It will vary depending on the cooler being used and the type of software being run. This difference can hit 30°C. The Tcase spec allows system builders to design computers so they do not thermal throttle. If their heatsink can keep the Tcase temp at 67°C then the CPU will rarely if ever need to thermal throttle during normal use. That is the one and only purpose of the Tcase spec.

Edit - The good old high temperature testing days. Here is my 3570K running at a peak core temperature of 101°C without a hint of throttling for the Intel CPU or Intel GPU. No need to throttle at that temp. Not hot enough yet.

One may argue that these things are so cheap, it wouldn't hurt you emotionally to go out and just order another one. I'm currently using a Logitech G610 Brown but only because it was on sale for a rather good price. If it wasn't, I probably would've ended up with one of those 40 dollar 10-key keyless mechanical ones. Mouse is just a Lenovo ThinkCenter one I found in the trash.

Redragon is a good brand for budget keyboards although I’m not sure about their mice.
