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.

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!
