Hello, I recently assembled a PC a few weeks ago using a Lian Li Mini case and an Arctic Liquid Freezer ii AIO 280mm. I'm running a Push Pull setup for the AIO, but I encountered an issue when trying to install the RTX 3080 GPU—it kept touching the fan, the PCIe tab didn't secure itself, so I had to pull it out manually for it to lock properly. Once that was fixed, the GPU ran smoothly and FURMARK showed normal results after about 15-20 minutes. I'm still a bit unsure, though, and wondering if removing the fans would help prevent this problem.

As long as you don't notice the fans playing, it's okay.

As stated, if it isn't making contact with anything, you're fine. It doesn't seem to be moving unexpectedly.

It wouldn't cause any real damage, but the half or third of your AIO that's blocking the GPU isn't helping much. You might want to check if moving it to the top or side of the case would improve things.

When relocating the radiator to the front of the case, you'll probably notice it impacts the rear IO on the motherboard. These adjustments can resolve the issue. I used them to secure my Arctic 360 in the top position. https://www.newegg.com/p/1W8-014H-00011

Thank you for your response, it's only a slight adjustment.

Sorry, I didn't note that you're using a 280mm AIO—it won't fit at the top, and the unit is quite thick.

I was a bit puzzled about it. Appreciate your advice.

It doesn't seem bad at all. The lower fan with light blocking still manages to move a lot of air. Plus, there are two fans powering the GPU—no issues there.
