I got an AIO and I'm just wondering how to install it properly as with the fans on the radiator it will not clear the mobo

Do you mean that if you try to attach it to the top, the VRM heatsinks and/or RAM get in the way? If so, either return it and get an air cooler, or have a front rad.

If you don't have the clearance there's really no miracle to be made but use a different cooler, you can just fill that area with fans and use a high end air cooler to achieve good cold and silent operation.

 

It's important measure stuff even if it's a hassle to avoid these issues

Yeah the ram and heat sinks were getting in the way, but I found a workaround by placing the fans in the very top of the case and the radiator inside the case (has a little compartment In the top for airflow im guessing) 

Which has also increased the appeal of the computer as the radiator is black and the fans are a bit of a grey colour so it just makes the inside so beautifully dark with the tempered glass side panel. The temps seem ok as well so far, cpu has not hit 60 C in a stress test and the gpu hasn't hit 50 (tho did move the fan curve before testing it as the volume isn't that bad to begin with)
