The Corsair has a three speed fan switch on the CPU heat sink. I'm running mine on the lowest speed and still running cool. I'm not overclocking but I would suspect if I did the CPU cooler could still handle it at higher fan speeds.
I would go with the stock Corsair fans to start with, and if it is too noisy for you then consider swapping them out for quiet fans. For some, the fan noise is not an issue.
Does the H80i have these three settings? I am not in front of my PC right now, but I just built my new tower this weekend, and the fans stay at full blast. I don't recall seeing any switches to control fan speed on the unit itself, though.
I'll have to look for that. I didn't see anything when I installed it, but I was looking quickly.
There is not a rotary switch for the fan speed control. There are three areas on the top of the heatsink assembly that you can push and select which of the speeds you want.
Are you sure that's for an H80i? I'm not seeing them anywhere, nor am I finding any mention of switches in the manual or their website.
