So I decided to go with an H80i for my cpu cooler. and most of that choice is the looks to be honest. I know it fits in my corsair spec 01, but before I buy it, I need to know from someone who has tried putting it in that case or similar to tell me how it will look/operate/perform. Also would I be able to just use one fan for the radiator and one for something else in the case? Because I feel like it will cover half the motherboard if I go with all the fans attached to it. heres my build:

I know lol, my cpu costs less than my cpu cooler. Im upgrading to an 8350 in about 6months so I thought Id just buy it now and atleast see how this cpu will operate with my gtx 960 and if the performance in games will go up when I over clock it. If its good performance in games and Im satisfied then I probably wont upgrade to an 8350.

I'd generally advise against getting an AiO for a CPU like that, but if you want it for the looks, you'll probably get it anyways. As to how it'll look, just check out the pictures of the spec 01 on pcpartpicker. It'll operate just fine with one fan, but the corsair stock fans that come with it are utter crap and you'll probably want to kill them with fire after 5 minutes, so I wouldn't even think about using them somewhere else. That being said, yes, the H80i will work fine with just one fan, although performance will be slightly better in push-pull.

perhaps you should edit your title to "H80i Owner bla bla bla"
