I have a Lian-Li ATX O11 Air Mini, and I wish to place the radiator at the top of the case but I cannot because of the motherboard's VRM cooling or whatever it is, anything I can do to mitigate this? I heard there was something especially for this situation but I don't remember what it was, possibly a bracket of some sort so I can offset the entire radiator a bit onto the outside so that it doesn't hit the motherboard?
 
"the case has no intake other than the radiator"

Not sure about the overall plans in mind - more details are needed.

Visit the links and watch the video. Read the manual and other installation documents.

Revise and post what you believe to be are the necessary fans, fan locations, and subsequent airflows.
 
I just got one of these cases and have 2 120mm fans mounted on the right side for intake. I see you have the case really packed but it looks like you could fit 120mm fans on the right side and the bottom, even if you have to use 15mm slim fans.
