1. To have proper push-pull on the H100i yeah, I'd say 4 fans.

2. Corsair link is like AIsuite for Asus boards, it controls the fans and controls the whole unit from your pc. 

3.yeah, of maybe not.   Depends because the H100i sticks out a bit with the tubes coming out, so depends on which way you put it.

 

Just, make sure you do what Linus does and if your having it pull or push have it so you can easily clean out the radiator.  

 

Wouldn't want this

1. For push-pull you'll need 4, but it's not that much worth it over just doing push or pull with two fans.

2. It allows you to control your cooler with a custom Corsair program

3. Likely not. The top 3x120mm will fit a triple 120mm rad, but with a dual 120mm I'd doubt there'd be enough room to put another 120mm fan next to it due to how rads are designed.

1. You could do push/pull with half a radiator but that completely defeats the point of having a 240 rad. If you want to do this you might as well go with a h80 or another 120mm aio cooler or a high performance air cooler.

2. It's basically something that lets you monitor, and in some cases customise, compatible corsair components (corsair products ending in "i")

3. In theory yes, however, aio coolers are slightly bigger/wider than the fans on them so this could prevent you from adding the fan.
