I bought this kracken x61 but i was wondering if i should replace the stock fans it comes with or should i just leave them i was wondering because before i put my rig together i wanna know if this kracken will be as silent as it can be

No advantage in replacing the fans.
AIO rads are so thin, just about any fan will work well.

The only way to get more air for less noise is get a bigger fan. The X61 is already 140mm, so not much choice there.
To be honest with you i have had no experience with that type of brand but i have gone through quite a few fans and have pretty much alot of them.

What i can tell you other than water cooling which is the most quietest but that will not be a cheap fix and the risk of getting leaks when not done properly. What i can tell you the corsair range can be quite but not a great deal the case is key and i have gone through a handful of them.
What you need is a padded case and you could get a noisy fan which can still be noisy but most of them would be noise reduced since the case can have sound deaden pads in the case.
Bequite range is not quite you cant expect anything to run silent even the fractal cases and corsair range. I have tried thermate too and a few different gaming PC cases, however the fractal one i find so far is the most quite and i have a huge fan heat sink in it which is noisy removed from my see through case which was very noisy.
It could be the case of cleaning your fans as well. All in ones are good and do help the computer to stay cooler but price wise its going to be more.

Sorry i did forget to add as mrmez stated the cooling difference between a AIO fan and a decent heat sink and fan which can cost less than a all in one can still give better cooling but it all depends on how tidy you want your PC inside. The cooling between the top end AIO and Top end fan heat sink is not so much in cooling.
The other thing to bare in mind is the space and the fixing for your AIO fans older cases do not have fixing depending on the brand.
To many fans will result some of the fans rendered useless.
