You might very well be thermal throttling with that dinky 212 Evo even at stock. It's NOT sufficient for an 8700K. Check your temps.
The Hyper 212 Evo is sufficient for even an overclocked i7 8700k. At stock, with poorly applied paste I had my old Hyper 212 Evo peaking at less than 70C under load. At 4.8ghz six cores, it was peaking at 84C with Prime95. I don't know what information you're receiving, but you seem pretty posh about it and don't seem to factor in the engineering of the processor in your assessment.
I suppose I can understand you being ignorant, but you're seemingly arrogant about it.
Ignorant? Arrogant?

"Regardless, I fired up our system in this state and cued up Prime95 Small FFTs again. The chip proceeded to throttle on several cores with a 1.308V Vcore (a difficult figure to monitor given the plunging core clocks, but I tried). That throttling meant the chip was running into its 100° C Tjunction limit on some cores, so the motherboard's automatic voltage control is probably a tad too aggressive given my manual overclocking experience. I also tried running Blender with multi-core enhancement enabled, and while all of the cores got to around 89° C under that load, the chip didn't throttle. That result still suggests a Hyper 212 Evo-class cooler probably isn't sufficient for holding the overclocked i7-8700K in check, given how little headroom it offers."

Might want to be a bit nicer when using adjectives. Especially to someone who can use one you can't. Banned.
Well, then I don't understand how I've had lower temperatures and no problems with the Hyper 212 EVO even doing [some] overclocking with i7 8700k and even with a
higher Vcore than mentioned in the first quote (with the same clock speed).
Your second link even says: "However, if you are in the market for a cooler that will perform fantastically at stock clocks, as well as handle some fairly aggressive overclocking, and don't need dead silence or all the Frag Harder Disco Lights, the Hyper 212 EVO represents a value that is going to be nearly impossible to beat." and I've observed exactly that with the Hyper 212 EVO and the i7 8700k. It's cheap, and it works fine, so long as you install it correctly.
I even did a horrible job installing it and the paste (because I'd been planing to upgrade soon after) and STILL didn't have the problems others were. I also didn't even have all of my case fans installed yet! Don't understand, but I guess I can understand where you could have gotten this information from.
Reason I said that, is because there are so many people that are arrogant about coolers, and say that any air cooling heat sink is a piece of crap, even if they have never actually tried it for themselves. Obviously, an AIO or custom liquid loop is going to have lower temperatures and be better for off the rails overclocking, but for some reason they seem to think peaking 80C under major stress is a death sentence (which professionals and the engineering will tell you isn't). It seems to be similar to men comparing the size of their genitals - it doesn't actually matter in the long run, but if you want to go overboard, it could make a difference to some people.
