I currently own the NZXT h500 case equipped with a 120mm liquid cooler for the i8700k chip. I’m thinking about improving my cooling setup. Here’s what I have in mind:

Evga 280mm CLC mounted on the front for intake.
140mm noctua NF A14 ippc3000 on the top for exhaust.
140mm fractal design venturi fan on the rear for exhaust.

Question 1: The NZXT h500 case says it only supports a 120mm fan on the rear, but I’ve heard the 140mm fractal venturi can be mounted there. Can this work?
Question 2: Should I replace the Evga CLC’s stock fans with two noctua NF A14 ippc3000 fans? Would that be possible and compatible? I’m not concerned about noise.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
