So recently I made a thread about my temps getting too high (86+ under full load) and even after trying everything including changing my airflow (2 intake from bottom, 2 exhaust from top, 1 exhaust from back from the cpu), reinstalling the cooler with the dot in the middle thing, and tightening the middle nut. Finally, I thought of turning off turbo boost and now my temps are a good 15 degrees celsius less under 100% less (prime95 v2.66 small FFTs), but this seems wrong, isn't this cooler supposed to be able to handle some overclocking? If so what can I do to utilize the full power of my cooler?

I7-6700K runs stock at high clock rates.
If you have overclocked, it will generate lots of heat.
Sometimes an overclock is inadvertent if you selected something like "maximum 'performance" as an option by default in your bios. Look at your vcore. CPU-Z will tell you.
If your vcore under load is over 1.4v, you are generating lots of heat and and perhaps excessive safe voltage.
Normally, most I7-6700K chips will do 4.6 or so safely.

Then, prime95 and IBT are not good tests.
Better to use OCCT or something which uses normal app instructions.

Your case is unusual because the airflow is bottom in to top out.
If you have not yet done so, your hyper212 might be more effective if the fans are directed upward instead of the normal rear...

The graphics card plays a part. The heat from the graphics card is what the hyper212 is getting for cooling.
That makes the cpu cooler less effective.

I am normally not a fan of liquid cooling.
But, here might be an exception.
Mounting an intake radiator in the bottom of the case will assure that your cpu gets fresh air for cooling.

Another option would be to increase the strength of the bottom intake fans.
