I want to know what cooler I should buy for a 4.2ghz overclock. Should I get a water cooler? Or is my hyper 212 evo enough

The 212 Evo can more than handle that OC if you have good case ventilation. If you make sure case ambient temp is low, it'd surprise you how well that cooler can handle i5 or i7 OCs

Hope this helps

I have an i5 4690k @ 4.4 GHz and it never goes above 78 degrees, so that i5 6600k at 4.2GHz presumably at a lower voltage than 1.3V should be at the lower 70-75. It should be fine

you SHOULD be able to. I have a very stable 4.6GHz on the 6600k with an EVO 212 using a 1.29Vcore. Every piece of silicon if different, but you should easily be able to get 4.2 on the 6600k using the EVO 212.

Personally I use a water cooler to cool my cpu. Not that I am a crazy overclocker, I usually let my computer do auto overclock at 15%. Because I don't want to be limited on my choices by an air cooler. Also remember HEAT is the cpu's number one enemy. Although your evo will cool your cpu, will it cool it low enough all the time? I like my temps to stay in the 60's Celsius for longevity and I'm sure for mental reasons( cuz I'm crazy about cool cpu's lol).
