here is a review That has the macho beating even Top AIOs at 4.5 ghz on a 4770k
another review putting it slightly behind the nh-d15 and this one again has it right behind the Nh-d15 and beating the cryorig r1.
Any particular reason you're looking at an AIO? If it's for a server and you want it to be quiet, I'd suggest something by Thermalright. They make incredible coolers that are extremely quiet. Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019CRDELS/?tag=pcpapi-20
Honestly though, just use the stock cooler and save yourself some scratch.
Don't know where you're buying the parts, but I'd recommend the Macho Direct, Windale 6, or Scythe Mugen 5 in the ~$40 range if you go with an after market.
Those are a good value that will let you push the overclock and still keep quiet.
It'll perhaps work at 3.6 GHz, but you may not get much use of turbo boost to 4.7GHz because of the sheer inadequacy. You shouldn't have picked that cooler. Make sure the motherboard isn't applying extra voltage. Get something bigger if it'll fit in your case.

Hey, you're not wrong. At 161.48mm, the True Spirit 140 Direct just barely exceeds that 160mm clearance limit that some cases have. The Hyper 212 Black RGB is 158.8mm so it will just barely fit in that class of case.
On the other hand, a Macho Direct is $1 more than the TS140D and $4 more than the 212 Black at $43, has better cooling than either, the same 140mm fan, and a height of 158mm (shorter than the 212 Black).
I'm not trying to make you feel bad for buying a Cooler Master, I personally own and like 2 variants of that very cooler (a 212 EVO and a Black non-RGB). I'm just saying that they're only really worth considering when they're on sale. At full price the competition blows them away.
