For a Hyper 212 Evo, the 6300 should ideally operate at around 3.5 GHz or 4.1 GHz, depending on stock settings.

This motherboard isn't suitable for overclocking; the VRM overheats and causes thermal throttling of the CPU. You might achieve a few extra 100 MHz, but results won't be significant. It's best to test under gaming conditions to determine if any CPU throttling happens.

I wouldn't raise the voltage significantly beyond the stock level unless you need a heatsink for the VRM on that board or at least direct a fan to it. With stock voltage, it might be around 4.2-4.4ghz, depending on the chip's performance. If you boost it to about 1.4v, you should reach roughly 4.5ghz. Even with good VRM cooling, I wouldn't go much higher on that board.

You've got the basics right. For high voltage settings and improved cooling, you'd need better CPU and VRM coolers. Regarding throttling detection, there are signs during stress tests or games that indicate performance drops. For fan direction, it usually refers to case fans, not just the CPU ones. In BIOS, you should adjust the base clock if needed.
