I really cant find the right answer anywhere, maybe i just dont know what im looking for...
I am getting a new case and want to get the h100i eventually. Im not sure how to plug in the fans that come with the h100i. I want to plug it into the psu but not sure what I need to plug in the fan headers to the psu.

because my 980ti is reaching temps of near 80 degrees during a couple games and i dont like that. i feel like the air flow will help in reducing the temps, no?

The cpu cooler i have is the hyper evo, the room is cool enough, the case is kinda subpar mid tower..and yea im sure the 980ti can handle the heat i just rather it be lower than 80 degrees..plus a new case might due me well because at times my cpu still reaches 80 degrees throttle and sits around 60-70 degrees so added airflow might help with that.

my 980ti is the superclocked one at 1100 clock speeds and with the ACX 2.0 cooler on it i feel should be lower than 80 degrees. I dont think its a faulty gpu i just think airflow in my current case might be sub par.

Im close to pulling the plug on this but the 750d airflow edition keeps calling my name :( The fans are 2 140mm in front, 1 int he back, and those i assume plug into the MOBO..then the h100i has fan headers on the cooloer itself? so the 2 fans that come with that will get plugged into the cooler not the mobo?
Also, i wonder if the dust filters are better on the 750d.

Im really indecisive and need to pull the plug on one of these cases, do you have any suggestions that can tip the scales in favor of one or the other?

but about this gpu, do u think im being paranoid? i mean 80 degrees makes the gpu super super hot to the touch and it worries me.
