It's alright for a heatsink that use a 90mm fan. You can probably hit 4.2ghz or so but probably nothing crazy. 

Where are you shopping/located? Budget? There may be better options for a similar price.

The H7 is a bit better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF2DZ6565

How does the CoolerMaster Hyper 103 compare to the Katana 4?

You listed your budget in USD. Are you not shopping in the US?

The Hyper 103 is worse than the Katana 4.

Im from Israel but giving you NIS price would make no sense since you'll probably not understand what it means, so i've translated this into USD

I can add like 10USD and get a CoolerMaster Hyper D92. is it worth it?

There's no point converting currencies if that's not what you're using. 

Can you link us to where you're shopping? What's your actual budget?

these are the coolers pages:

http://ksp.co.il/?select=.1066..182.&list=1&sort=3&glist=1&uin=29735&txt_search=&buy=&minprice=0&maxprice=0

 

about 150NIS. Can add 50 but only if it's really worth it.

The D92 is similar to the H7 or 212 Evo. The 212x is cheaper and quieter than the D92 though. http://ksp.co.il/?select=.1066..182.&list=2&sort=2&glist=1&uin=24158&txt_search=&buy=&minprice=0&maxprice=0

The Ashura would be even better if you don't mind spending a bit more. http://ksp.co.il/?select=.1066..182.&list=2&sort=2&glist=1&uin=19264&txt_search=&buy=&minprice=0&maxprice=0

Thanks a lot!
