I am going from a 212 + with poor cable management to a H80i. I used to have the 212 + orriented vertically. With a single fan at the bottom sucking air up into the cooler. Temps were around 70-77c max prime95 runs at 4.5ghz 1.280v. At that time I had my GPU in the bottom PCI-E slot running 8x, it was also a reference nvidia card so it blew out the back of the case. Now I purchased a 780 GTX ACX which blows air back into the case. I switched the 212 + orrientation and got another fan to make it push pull. Temps are now 79-85c. There is a fat motherboard cable infront of the intake fan for the cooler which could be causing this.
I am wondering if the H80i will fit in my Haf 912. I was also wondering, do the 2 fans included use the CPU fan slots? I saw in the h80 installtion they use the PSU to power them? Which option would work best


My plan won't work if they use CPU headers however. Also would it be better to have the top fan as 2x 120mm ( Which I have already for the 212 + ) or a single 200mm?
