Okay, so I have been wondering, does a AIO cover the RAM for the viewer? I mean, I am planning on to get a LED RAMs, AIO and S340. The thing is whether I will be able to see the RAM sticks in some point, because it is clear that on this picture it would not be see-able.

So, is there any option for me to have an AIO and fully visible RAM sticks at once?

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure how this picture tells you that they can't be seen. Only thing "blocking" them are the actual tubes, but you can move those around to achieve the aesthetics you're after (or move the radiator on top etc).

Yes, I meant tubes. Can they be moved in such easy and not harmful manner?

Well I wouldn't stress the fittings too much, but there should be some room depending on how tight those tubes actually are. Some are tougher than others. Have you experimented with positioning the radiator on top?

Well, I haven't used a desktop since I was 3 years old... And on the S340 is no room for a radiator on the top, only at the front of the case.

Perhaps look for AIOs with softer tubing and/or angled fittings. For example this is what I'm currently using: http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h110-280mm-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler and it makes it a little bit easier to have the tubes out of the way.
