Is the Hyper 212 Evo suitable for overclocking a CPU?
The information about whether your 212 Evo can handle overclocking your i5-4690k is not available in the provided context.
I've got my FX-8350 running at 4.6 GHz on the 212 EVO, but it only reached 4.8 without any noticeable improvement. The temperatures stayed between 60-62°C under load and I was at 1.428 volts. I'm hoping to push it higher—around 80°C would be ideal.

Yeah it's decent I can get 1.35v and 4.3ghz on my 3570k without going over 87c in IBT. Core 0 stays at 77c which I think is excellent considering the voltage, shame about that terrible paste job done by intel on the IHS, think I need to rectify that.
How high should i go? 4.0?
I've tested my FX-8350 at 4.6 GHz on the 212 EVO, managed to get it up to 4.8, but didn't notice any improvements. Temperatures are between 60-62°C under load and I'm at 1.428 volts, lol. Go as high as you can! 80°C would be the ideal temperature I'd like to see.

As high as possible depends on what the chip can do, I'd say go as high with voltage and frequency until you start hitting the 80c mark.
Based on my experience, the 212 Evo would perform excellently for overclocking at a high level (thanks to my focus on air cooling and my preference for traditional setups since the late '90s). My old Phenom "x6" at 4.2GHz with a decent cooler running at 1.66v for years without any CPU issues was reliable, though I can't measure the temperatures now because unlocking the two idle cores changed things. I estimate it stays cool—around 170°F under heavy load. If you're using a newer cooler and a cooler CPU, you should have stable overclocking opportunities if you're comfortable with a bit of warmth.
Alright boys i think ive got it at 4 Ghz right now. Can someone confirm?
