For those who are wondering whether a 280 AIO / radiator might fit side-mounted: Yes, it does. Tested with the be quiet! Silent Loop 2 280 (314 x 140 x 27 mm, 1x 140 x 25 SW 3 + 1x 120 x 25 mm SW 4 HS with Noctua adapter).
Using an AIO, there is just this issue, that the in / outlet ports of the tubes clash with the PSU position, so you may have to get creative.
With a custom loop, you should have much less issues (if any; 90° fittings should take care of that problem easily).
Edit: Got creative. Tubes above the PSU seem to be the only option. Also, the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 Gaming OC fits completely on top, despite the fact that its between 58 and 61 mm thick. Did also a test fit with a GTX 1660, in theory, normal-sized GPUs till approx 130ish mm width should fit, too, but YMMV.
Edit #2: Now with pictures.
