NZXT Kraken x61 fit inside the define R4?

Im looking at a all in one water cooling solutions for my computer. i have a hyper 212 atm but loking to upgrade.
I know the H100I will fit but im conserned that there wont be enought clearence with my mother board for the Kraken.
If it wont fit i will just setle with the H100i
Thanks

It will fit, but it will depend on what specific motherboard you have. The Define R4 has the top 140mm mounts placed in a way where you can not just say that "it will fit" just because it has dual 140mm mounts at the top, because every motherboard is different VRM cooling, and it may or may not fit depending on how big these VRM heatsinks are.

It almost certainly won't fit in the top due to clearance issues with the mother board. Might fit in the front if you remove all the hard drive cages

Then no it will likely not fit. Pretty much everyone with an R4 and a mobo with dual VRM heatsinks puts dual 140mm rads on the front.

Yes, but you can't have HDD cages, which sucks. Just get a Cryorig R1 man.
