Double check that the case has enough room for the AIO cooler in the position you want to place it. You can usually find out by checking the manual, companies like Corsair and Fractal Design make a point of mentioning the distances between, say, the top fan mounts and the RAM slots on the motherboard. I ran into an issue with my current build where the RAM I bought is slightly too high and I can't fit the radiator where I wanted it with the fans attached.
That said, I put the AIO cooler in the front instead of the top and it runs just fine, even if it's not as thermally efficient. But it would have saved me some time and frustration during the build to have planned better.
this is going to be a regular air cooled system unless i spelled the name of the cooler wrong. thanks for the concern though. vengeance lpx is a very low profile kind of RAM. i never had any issues with an even bigger Beqiet cooler. gonna check the clearance between glass and cooler though.
Duhhh whoops, I shoulda read a little slower.
I have one of BeQuiet!'s AIO coolers, hence my warning. Far less likely of an issue with an air cooled system, though I did once run into an issue with a massive cooler knocking against the optical drive cage in an older build (back when optical drives were necessary and GPUs connected via the AGP slot).
