As you can see it has a port for both a 24 pin and 8 pin ATX power cable

Here is my case which i REGRET CHEAPING OUT ON!!!!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
Intel i7 2600k CPU @ 3.6-8GHz (turbo)
Heres my problem I am running my computer 24/7 at around 60-80% cpu usage and 50-70% ram usage. Manufacture heatsink was leaving me at around 80-85 degrees which i noticed very quickly so i purchased H100 by corsair
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017
now the radiator and everything manages to VERY CLOSELY fit into my case with ONLY ONE FAN
we all knew it was too good to be true. I can do one of two things at this point i was going to cut up my fan brackets because only one corner is interrupted by the PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports but i just realized that even after doing that there is a 8 pin THAT just happens to be 1cm-ish to long .
QUESTION #1: Is the 8 pin even really needed?
With only one fan i get my CPU temp to around 56-60 degrees Celsius. With both fans it would be closer to 40-45 which is what i prefer, also i plan i buying better fans then what it came with those are too loud for my taste.
If yes then,
What CPU fan would you recommend I really dont want to purchase another case because if I did that i would just do a whole new build. this was my first build im happy with how it came out for a first time but I need it to stay cool because I plan into O/C it in the near future due to the fact that the work load is going to increase if all goes well
and if all goes incredibly well ill be popping back in for opinions on a brand new expensive built! Cant wait.
ANYWAYS THANKS for the long read and all HELP ahead of time!
My GPU is always around 33 degrees Celsius if that information is needed!
