Stuck installing H100

Thanks

 

Just started my first build at 0800 this morning EDT and already stuck.

 

I am installing into a obsidian 800 case with a sabertooth x79 morherboard.

 

Does the H100 use the back 2 fan holes on top or the front two?

 

A corsair video said to have the H100 fans such in air and have the back fan blow it out. I can't tell which way the back one is going to work but it looks like it is also sucking. Is there a way to tell on the back one? The Corsair emblem is facing out the back.

 

2 Y cables came with it. I assume I only need one, correct?

 

There is a plastic cap over the front of the pump. I assume it is protecting the thermal paste and I remove it before installing over the CPU, correct?

It does have thermal past installed, correct?

 

I realize these are dumb questions but I need to be sure before I connect to the CPU and proceed.

 

 

 

Thanks

If you are unsure, put a tissue or piece of paper in fron t of the fan to see which way it's running.
