My case does not have vents for 120mm fans. They are for 80mm vents.

If I buy a H60, is it gonna be fine if I stick the Rad on the 80mm vent?

No, because the mounting holes for the 80mm fan will be too close together to be able to mount the 120mm fan of the H60, and there will probably also be other things to the sides that would interfere with the radiator. What case is it, anyway?

That's better, but your cooling performance will still be diminished, which defeats part of the purpose of having a closed loop cooler in the first place. Also, make sure that the entire assembly will actually fit, because at this point you're dealing with the height of the adapter + radiator + fan(s).

Better cases can be had for $25
