Kraken x61 in arc midi r2

Will a kraken x61 fit in an arc midi r2?

What is the best place to mount a radiator? Front or top?
The x61 is 280mm.
If that won't fit, will a 240mm rad fit?
Thanks

It should fit and go in the roof.

Thanks the reply.
Is there any major performance difference between it and a h100i gtx. As that is only 240mm, so may an easier fit. Also how close will the rad come up my ram slots? Will it block them? Thanks

Combined depth of rad and fans is 5.5cm.

As for performance, my pc has been on for around seven hours and my 4790k@ stock is idling at 21c. A couple of hours of GTA V with the fans at 70%, the highest it went was 42c.

Does the top of the case have offset holes to move the cooler away from the rear?

Is offset yes. Im just thinking now i wont be able to fit an exhaust, might just go for the h100i gtx as it's 240, but the kraken looks amazing performance wise

A H105 will be too thick, the H100i Or better yet H100iGT.

Oh and the coolermaster nepton 240mm is a good price.
