So, I've seen many videos about how to install a 120mm water cooler, however all of them say that you install it where the exhaust fan would go. I quite like my exhaust the way it is and have a 140mm fan already installed there. Would I be able to install a 120mm radiator above the cpu instead? I haven't seen this done so I'm not sure if it works or not. Please enlighten me.

Case: NZXT H440
CPU Cooler that will be installed: Corsair H80i
