If the 212 cooked your 4790K then your board probably was putting to much voltage to it, very common with that processor.
I have it and the default voltage of the motherboard was higher than my overclocked voltage @4.6. On 1.22 volts the board defaulted to 1.27 volts at stock speed when I first installed it.

Some of the best coolers made the Universal has no memory clearance issues...

IMHO grab a air cooler, a decent Noctua will be the best choice for OCing. Like: Noctua NH-D14

If you're on a budget, the NH-U12S is a good choice as well, or even a CRYORIG H7.

Decent air coolers are as decent as liquid and pose absolutely no threat to the machine, no need to meddle with flow... or leaking... IMHO a much better choice.

I use 2 of the 120mm versions to cool my dual X5680 Xeon's (135w tdp) setup. So if space is an issue even the 120mm version should be enough for the 95w 8600..

I've had a couple of systems come in before with that exact cooler(leak issues). At one point I considered buying one for a system I was building for someone else... but decided not to.

Got 2 currently (owned 3 of them overall) never had an issue. But trying to cool 2 Xeon X5680's (135tdp 12core/24thread @ 3.4ghz) All stuffed into a Coolmaster Haf-Xb using E-Atx 12"x13" server mobo that Supermicro says "water cooling is NOT supported" add 8 fans, a gtx 760, pci-e ssd, 4 x 2tb ultrastars etc.. And well space can be an issue..
