Hey there
so im just wondering will a Corsair hydo h110 fit in a NZXT Phantom 820 Enthusiast tower??
i would get the hydro h100i but its out of stock on overclockers and i dont know when they might get stock in..

Should i get the hydro h110 if it fits? (how easy would it be to install?)
or do i go for the hydro h80?

also does it come with pre applied thermal? and does that mean i dont need to put any on the cpu and i can just stick the cpu cooler straight on??

They both come with TIM pre-applied. You could install the H80 on the rear fan mount or the top. The H110 can be installed on the top. If you go with the H80 I recommend installing it on the rear since with either location you will have to remove a fan. If on the rear you will have to remove the preinstalled 140mm fan. If on the top you will have to remove the preinstalled 200mm fan. But if you can get the H110 I would go with that instead.

thankyou :) so for installing the h110 would i have to remove the preinstalled fan at the top as well or would it go underneath that fan? im just a tad worried that it wont fit with the mobo and ram (ASUS v formula and 16gb hyperx ram 4 channel)

You would have to remove the top 200mm fan. To secure the H110 the screws go into the top of your case, through the screw holes in the fan and then screw into the radiator. According the link you posted the rad is 29mm and the fan is 25mm thick. As long as there is at least a 54mm gap between the inside top of the case and the mobo you should be fine.
