Hey, I'm looking to upgrade from my current CPU cooler to a liquid one. I want to make sure this cooler will fit in my case and motherboard. Here are the links to the parts I'm considering:

- Motherboard: [ASUS Z370A](https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Intel-Sock...B0764LKRCT)
- CPU Cooler: [Corsair H80i V2](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CW-9060...B019954Y2Q)
- Case: [Nova TG 100K](https://www.amazon.co.uk/BitFenix-BFX-NT...B074QRDXT6)

Also, I'm curious if I'll need to reapply thermal paste on the CPU even though the cooler already has it. Thanks!

Yes, it should work with the motherboard and the case. It's important to remove the old paste from the CPU using the paste that comes with the new cooler.

The NovaTG can accommodate 120mm on both sides, front and back.

For the front, you'd likely need to take out the drive cages, which isn't very convenient.
The front design also allows for a 240mm AIO if those cages are removed.
Despite the effort, spending 50quid could be worth it with another case.
The Corsair SPEC-04 is also Red/Black with TG... but offers superior native cooling support.
