Kolink Observatory Midi Tower RGB gaming case, does it support 280mm rad in top?

Hi guys.

I'm looking to do a budget build for a mates son for Xmas, but we are on a strict budget so looking to save some pennies where we can. Does this support a 280mm AIO in the top of the case? On the description page it states supports "up to 240mm radiators", but then in the tech details it states "A 240 mm or 280 mm radiator can be installed in the front and the top" and also looks like 2x140mm fans can be fitted into the top so surely it can. A bit misleading, just want to check before I put the order in.

Any idea if there would be issues with clearance for the fans fouling on the top of the motherboard as it's a midi case?

Thanks in advance.

It supports at the front, never tried at the top.

Ok. Had to check as the OCUK product description does say "A 240 mm or 280 mm radiator can be installed in the front and the top of the Observatory case. Yet the small bullet point description only says "up to 240mm rads front and top", as does all the videos and reviews out there. I dont want to put a thousand pound order in for a build then have to return the case or the 280mm AIO. Is there anyway I can get anyone to check?

Can confirm it fits at the front. Spec needs amending. Top is 240mm max.
