The Hyper 212 Evo is an average cooler in my opinion If you have a big case, get the Thermalright HR-02 Macho instead.
i5 2500K or i5 3570K

Yep, you can manually update the BIOS. There should exist a special tool from the manufacturer.

I'll have to agree with, cluthz. Though your choice was made... Just be sure to monitor those temps. ivy does not clock high on air well at all. The cpu can take much higher heat but things get out of hand when over clocking. Since you bought a 'k' I have to assume you plan to do so. Get friendly with HWmonitor is you are not already. You will also find that upping the voltage is a must with that cpu and the heat goes up as well! anything 1.3V or over is bad IMO.
