Looking at changing out my NH-D15 for a Kraken X61 (prefer not to have the extra weight hanging off my socket when I transport my PC). Case is a Fractal Design Define R5. Trying to figure out if I'll be able to front-mount the radiator as I'd prefer not to remove the top vent covers.

If what I'm posting has already been posted, I'm sorry.

Thank you much! It looks like you have one of your fans there in a push/pull between the rad and the stock front fans. This answers another question I had in mind!
