Hey guys, I'm planning to boost the FX-8320E using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO at 4.0 ghz with an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 board. Can these parts actually reach that speed?

The only way to be sure is to give it a real shot. The motherboard supports 140W, giving you some flexibility.
Evo 212 provides a reasonable cooling solution, so a slight voltage boost is acceptable.
Just keep an eye on the temperatures while testing.
You're using a moderately powerful GPU and a decent power supply—though it's not ideal, it should function.

Eximo:

Evo 212 is a solid cooler, so a slight voltage boost is okay.
Just keep an eye on the temps while trying.
You're using a fairly low-power GPU with a decent power supply—though it's not ideal, it should still function.
If everything checks out, then your question about fitting in comes up.

Technically, they assess the case at 160mm, while the Evo stands at 159mm in height. This means it will fit snugly.
