I am planning on buying a i7-4790K and Hyper 212 EVO cooler as an upgrade from my 4 year old Intel Duo 2 CPU and I was wondering if all 4790k CPUs have different overclocking potential? Is it possible that the CPU can barely overclock? Another question, will the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO keep the CPU nice and cool?

The Intel Core i7-4790K http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWAX8 can realistically reach 4.6GHz with the Hyper 212 EVO. The performance of the 4790K over your Intel Core 2 Duo at the same clock speeds will still be night and day. The 4790K will be a huge upgrade for you.
