Corsair H100i into CM 932 adv blue advice

[iBlanky]

1. I want to add a Corsair H100i to my PC build vs my current Hyper 212 Evo. I think the best way to go about placement is to put the H100i into the top of the case but i would prefer to not remove my top 200 mm fan with the blue led because of looks. I would not want to mount anything outside of the case because that does not look good either.

If someone has done this maybe a link so i could see what they did or if they had troubles i could read there thread.

2. I have a i5 3470 so i do not overclock and temps are fine it would mostly be for looks and because i like the building and learning aspect of PCs which i recently got into. Im sure the Hyper 212 Evo will get put to use in a rig I will build my younger brother for Christmas. Ive been considering giving him my cpu/mobo and going either 3570k 3770k(leaning on this option) or the new Ivy E 4930k ( I only game. Why? Because i can 😛 lol)
The 3770k would seem to be the best fit at only 100$ more than the 3570k i gain HT which may become more valuable as i believe Xbox1 and Ps4 have AMD 8 cores so maybe in a years time games will begin to use more cores?


Thanks for any advice or info.

well hyperthreading you will not gain any performance in games but rather hurt performance . in other applications hyperthreading does help

as far as not removing the the fan up top thats not an option. I do miss my bigger fans i had on my old case since they are dead quiet that fan will not push much air through the rad not will it fit correctly

Thanks for the info thats what i figured... Is the 3570k worth it or am i fine with the 3470 and just drop the $$ on GPU. Im using a GTX 660 OC right now i think i can hold out until the GTX800 series drops and get a 880.
Basically at what point will i bottleneck a 3470 @ 3.2Ghz 3.6Ghz boost
