Hello, I dont want to spend a lot of money on a cooler. I plan on buying a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 or a Corsair Hydro Series H60. I am planning to buy a I7-9700K, I am not into overclocking but maybe I will try to bump it up a bit(not important). I have a Fractal Desing XL (gen1) case, and a Define R4 case. (not sure witch case I will use.)

 

I want to know If i can use 2x 140mm fans on the top exhaust and mount the radiators under those fans. Or do I need to remove those fans and use 120mm fans? Because of the harddrive bays I dont think It will fit at the front of the case. I dont have any 120mm fans in my case. And I preffer larger fans because of lower rpm and lower noise.

I currently use a Coolermaster Nepton 140XL, mounted at the back exhaust on a AM3+ socket. Do you think it will fit onto the new socket? Its my first and only AIO, so im not that good at this. I know it came with some mounting hardware for Intel, but its a bit old perhaps.

From what I can see it has mounting hardware for LGA 1155 and 1156, which I believe has the same mounting holes as LGA 1151 that the 9700k uses
