Why don't you get a CM Hyper 212 Evo instead???
Cooler Master has a history of great products that deliver great results at a reasonable price. I'm sad to say that the V8 GTS just doesn't follow in that tradition. While it is reasonably quiet at lower fan speeds, it just doesn't deliver the performance I'd expect from a $100 cooler, even when the fans are cranked up to 11. The performance per dollar ratio just isn't there and to be honest, it is one of the most frustrating CPU coolers I've ever had the displeasure of installing.The fact that it was beaten out by the almost-half-as-expensive DEEPCOOL Neptwin (which, in a funny twist, is also more quiet and far easier to install) just seals the deal.
Just keep in mind that for $100 you...

Just keep in mind that for $100 you can very nearly buy a self-contained water cooler that will outperform it in nearly every way. I really wanted the vapor chamber combined with eight heatpipes, triple towers, and dual 140mm fans to succeed, but it's impossible to ignore the lofty price tag and unspectacular cooling

Because the 212 EVO has a hard time handling the heat produced by Haswell. The V8 GTS will handle Haswell just fine, just make sure you get some LP RAM to fit underneath it!

No, if you google around, you'll see that the 212 on Haswell produces absurd temps when OC'd, and you definitely can't reach 4.5-4.7 with it.
