Cooler Master V8 cooling performance?

[Chikensoops]

I'm thinking of buying an old CM v8, just because it looks nice, but what is the actual cooling performance of it? Will it be able to cool modern mid-high range CPUs? Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the mounts for AM4 or LGA1700, so would I be able to buy mounts for it?

It should be able to cool any mid range CPU but i would be aware that an old heatsink might have surface damage on the area that comes in contact with the CPU hurting cooling performance. Also cooler master makes a kit they sell for 5 dollars here: https://store.coolermaster.com/us/lga1700-mounting-bracket-kit

What is your budget? There are more modern options that would likely make much more sense.

It's not about the performance though, I want the V8 because it's a V8, and they look cool, that's about it.
