The cooler's performance in overclocking the i5 6600k depends on its cooling capacity and thermal management.

Exceptional Fit
No RAM conflicts
Emphasizing broad compatibility, the H7 features an asymmetric slanted heatpipe design that keeps the heatsink away from the RAM area. This ensures ideal performance with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and AMD systems.

It should be fine, since you can likely reach 4.2GHz with the standard voltage (1.2v). Raising it slightly may help achieve 4.4GHz.
It wouldn't be ideal to use a high-performance cooling pad, opt for a more moderate approach. A 4.2 seems like a reasonable estimate.
It relies on various elements such as voltage and temperature. The chip's TDP begins at 91W, while the Hyper 212 Evo reaches a maximum of 180W. The CPU operates at 3.9GHz, which means you should likely avoid issues by not exceeding the voltage. I believe reaching 4.4GHz would still stay within the cooler's 180W limit. Overall, it should work fine.
I experience a solid overclock on my 6400 at 4.4 ghz, and I'm also running an Evo. Prior to the I5, I was achieving 4.5 ghz from my FX 6300 with temperatures staying under 55 degrees. You should be able to reach 4.4 by slightly increasing the voltage (1.22-1.25).
