I got my pc back today from the tech store.
He installed my new h100i corsair cooler.
Is this the right way ?
Its like the one in the pic exactly. Fans on bottom and the radiator on top of them.

I would try to do what the program says and create your layout by dragging and dropping the parts to where they are in the case.Those temperatures are pretty acceptable for the overclock that you have on it. I would not let them climb too much into the 80s though if you plan to run at that temperature for a sustained amount of time. In real world use though, if the temps stay below that you are good to go.
Idle temps are 30s. Good ? Its summer and i got no air conition in this room.

It looks like a standard install of an AIO cooler so you are good there.If the fans are PWM (4-pin), and your motherboard has 4 pin fan headers, then you can go into the BIOS and set how fast they run and at which temperature. You can set them to scale up to whatever percent you want when the CPU hits a certain temperature. By LED, do you mean the Corsair logo on the pump? If so, I believe that you can install Corsair Link (if the technician did not) from Corsairs site and set that up.
I set all the fans detected in my bios to full level and performance. Noise isnt an issue for me. Also here are the temps with my current 4.4ghz @ 1.280fixed while running a prime95 stretch test.

The H100i is designed to use the Corsair Link software and within that program you can control the speed of the fans and I believe the color of the pump's LED. The technician should have installed that software along with your hardware: If he didn't you can download and install it from Corsair's website.Install looks good.
I did and this is what i got. I cant find where to change fan speeds and led. I checked a tutorial on youtube and hey changed them from this program. I cant find it on mine though.
Here's a pic.

.You can have the fans mounted either in a push or a pull configuration. If the fans are on the bottom it is most likely a push configuration which is the general normal config. You could also add some to the top to make a push / pull configuration.
If the fans are too noisy (a common complaint with the H100i) you could always switch them out for some Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition PWM fans. They have great static pressure that especially helps with radiators / case fan grills. If you can feel the air then you should be good to go.
I can feel the air being exhausted through the radiator from the top so ye . Also how am i going to change how fast the fans spin and change the led ?
Here are some pics of it. Do you like how its been installed ?
