Hi, the hyper evo will be fine and you should be able to reach 4.5 with that cooler, overclocking is never 100% safe but try to keep vcore under 1.4 and temps under 75c and it should be fine.

Thank you friend. You can send me here tutorial how I can overclock? I know that some in BIOS, but I want be sure and follow tutorial. This is my first time overclock

Set to 4.5, and show me base speed 4.4 Ghz. You think that is safe for this CPU? with Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Turbo Red ?
