Did you look at the link to my review of the H70?
On the back, inside of your case, directly below the power supply you should see a 120mm fan. That fan is removed and the H80 takes its place.

That review was extremely helpful, thanks! After only giving it a quick 5-minute lookover, I already understand how the installation process goes. (And no worries, I'll be sure to give it much more than a 5-minute lookover if I actually go through with it)
It does raise a few questions though: I did look at the testing, but do you believe the H80 would be able to keep the 2600k under 60C at 4.5ghz or higher?
I was slightly surprised to see the 920 tested in the review going close to 70C at only 4.0ghz; makes me a little nervous about how much it is actually going to help. 4.0ghz is certainly an improvement over my current 3.5ghz; but I was really hoping to see as close to 4.5ghz as possible.
Also, I'm not sure if this is off-topic or not, but I noticed you have the EK-Supreme HF; is that something I would be able to include with the H80 to take the performance even further? I'm not entire sure what the EK-Supreme HF is honestly; although it just looks like a replacement heat-sink for any water cooling system, that I would essentially just screw on after screwing off the stock heat sink from the H80. Is that possible, or am I completely misunderstanding the purpose of the EK-Supreme?
Ooh, also, I'm assuming that because the H80 is a sealed unit, that means I don't have to add/replace the water, right?
Last thing on my mind, do you have an recommendations for RAM? A few posts ago I forgot to comment on the fact that my RAM isn't exactly the best fit for the 2600k. Got me thinking that I might want to replace them; or add a second set that is better-suited for the 2600k.
Thanks again for your help, it really is...well...helpful!
