Alright thanks, by any chance you know which brand is good for Led strips ? And where it's sold in Canada ?

I'm using a Bitfenix Alchemy strip (white LED), but supposedly, most of the LED sellers on ebay are pretty decent. 

 

So i've been considering picking up a Blue LED from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Light-Neon-Adhensive-Strip-11-PC-Computer-Case-Flexible-12V-4-Pin-7-Color-/261351928485?pt=US_String_Lights_Fairy_Lights&var=&hash=item3cd9c9f2a5 for some underglow from behind my motherboard. Although, I haven't done it yet, since the white LEDs are pretty bright and I don't think the underglow would show through. (p.s. I have no idea if the ones from ebay are any good -- it's just what I've heard -- and keep in mind they're usually significantly cheaper, so even if they only last half as long it's still a good deal)

Just here to ask a series of questions before I purchase it on Tuesday/Wednesday this week.

For an I7 4790K which would be a better cooler for it Corsair H105 or the H110

and lastly what would be a good brand of LED strips to use to brighten a case? Darkside or Phobya?

Edit: Will the H110 fit on a 1150 socket ?

Best site to order the Led in Canada?

What case do you have? The H105 is a thick 240mm while the H110 is a thin 280mm. So each have their own case compatibility issues. 

 

/Yes the H110 will fit on LGA1150

Currently right now I'm using a Phantek Enthoo Pro while building a custom case in the process. But the focus is the Enthoo Pro

The h110 is marginally better. I'd get whichever is cheaper if theres more than a $10-15 difference.
