Best WC in town?

Okay, I've been doing research and I've even opened up a previous thread about this.

I've also been doing research and the answer seems to be the H100i, there's an issue about that.. My case the CM Storm Scout 2 doesn't fit the H100i INTERNALLY, it does but EXTERNALLY! I want something internally for a more cleaner look! I've been doing research and it seems like the H80i is the cooler I would need/want! Here's an image of it!!

 

I'll be doing a push/pull configuration of the cooler and I'll be using (2) Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition fans, good idea?
Is there a HUGE performance gain from the STOCK Intel cooler and the H80i w/ Push/Pull configuration? Please let me know! Currently I'm getting 39 °C or below, NOT getting any higher than 45 °C even on full load w/ games+browser+etc.

Main reason of the thread: Will I get a huge performance gain going from a Stock Intel cooler to an H80i push/pull configuration w/ (2) Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions?

A Storm Scout 2 will actually fit an H100i fine in the top, side panel or I believe front, seeing as it's a 240mm radiator.

I've done research and seen pictures, it fits FINE on top EXTERNALLY out the case, I want it INTERNALLY which it doesn't fit.

I've seen pictures of it, plus it fits tight on top.

Wonderful, about how much of a performance gain would I receive? 5%? 10%? 20%? Any idea?

 

unless you overclock there is no performance increase

Oops shouldn't say PERFORMANCE gain, I mean like temperature wise..

Let's say its 45'C on a stock cooler (MOST OF THE TIME) how many degrees 'C will it be after the H80i? Any idea?

"My case the CM Storm Scout 2 doesn't fit the H100i"

Can you not read?

You're saying it doesn't when in fact it does. I had a H100i in a storm scout 2 and technically its externally mounted but its below the handle and still functions fine. I might still have a few pics if you want to see them.

My personal preference, I even said it FITS but I don't like it because it fits EXTERNALLY.

There is a noticible difference from stock to H80i but there won't be a difference with push pull as supposed to just push or pull

Can't it fit in the front? Mine is sitting right next to me and there are two 120mm fan mounts in the front of the case.
