Question Best water cooling for my case

I have an OLD i7 2700K. It's in a Corsair Carbide 300 case. The old Corsair i80 water cooler is no longer working. I mean that it sits at 0 usage and all my cores are at 45C + for no reason. In the past they were all at 25c+ etc. I am TRYING to find a replacement OMG. I cannot get a straight answer from Corsair's website. What water cooler can I use? right now the i80 is a straight up ONE fan/radiator that is connected to the BACK of my case (top fan slot, one fan before and then the radiator and then one fan behind). My case has a a TOP (think the top of the case) which would allow TWO slot radiator. I tried amazon and it says 100i. Is this correct? Can I buy this for my 1156 mobo chipset and will this newer larger water cooling system work for my case? 300 corsair carbide. Or should I try to just buy another i80 or something similar?
 
Should be able to easily do air for that (heck the Hyper 212 EVO to the rescue). I have a 3770k overclocked to 4.7GHz on air (Noctua NH-D14). I had it up to 5.0GHz but it wasn't stable without bumping voltages up so I dialed it back to 4.7GHz on default voltages).
