OC Genie isn't recommended to use for OC period. But test your load and stability first. 212 Evo is good cooler. But it can't do miracles if you raise volts too much.

I overclocked the 8320 to 4 ghz with a heat sync and fan combo similar to the 212 but much smaller and temps never go above 55c,  but I also didnt have to up voltage.  Should be good with the 212 I would say though,  but I am not a pro and this was my first time ever overclocking a chip.  I used prime95 but only ran it for about 20 minutes,  so I am not sure what temps will do beyond that.  I may test out later on and see if they get any higher.
