I've got an X230t, and T530 (Almost EXACTLY identical to yours, except a 15.3", 1080p screen), and OC works just fine on 11.6.6. In fact, it's one of my best/stable builds. Read the guide thoroughly, and follow the IvyBridge post-install section to get Power Management working correctly. You need to install 1vyRain or another unlocked BIOS if you want to swap the wireless card. Only drawback is if you have a DGPU, your DP out won't work as that's where it's routed from. You won't get a much easier laptop build than one of these.

I used This part of the Guide, and with ssdtPRGen, I had no issues at all. The Lenovos have a pretty straight up ACPI table (unlike some Dell/HP of this era), so it should be an easy build.
