Added an Arctic Freezer 2 280mm AIO, but didn’t check any clearances. Top mount blocked my mobo and RAM, side mount blocked by GPU. Outside it goes, had to remove some parts of the front to let the hoses go through.
Yeesh. Maybe sell that case, save up and get a bigger one?

Looks pretty funky with better air cooling. I like it.

This is why you should check for clearance before you got that AIO. I suggest you to get another case

When i chose AIO (I have a Liquid Freezer too), i first made a full-size cardboard model of 280mm version and found out that it would not fit on top. Although the case specifications from official site stated that it supports this size. I had to put 240 mm and it fit well.

I would consider getting a cover made. Either 3d printed or made of wood. Could look pretty slick

Remove the fans from the cooler
Mount cooler in case
Mount fans outside of case

Now all you need is to do something to cover the open space

Go go gadget front panel! I mean it’s not exactly elegant, but if it works.

I think this looks better than stock but that’s probably because I prefer exposed turbos and superchargers sticking out of the hood and intercoolers zip tied to the bumper.

Radiator is upside down. You want the tubes to be on top

Just get a full size atx case. That is a medium atx tower.
Lian li is a good choice. Your GPU does not have enough clearance

Have the same case, and had the same issue. I mounted mine on top. Made more sense except my GPU is too long and I can only have one fan on the front lol.
