Nzxt kraken x61/ original phantom

[Camohunter]

So I bought a x61 off hardware swap for a good price and just realized it does not fit my case. There is plenty of room for it to but the mounting isn't compatible. Any suggestions??

REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 2 x 120mm, 1 x 200/230 (2 x 120mm included)
TOP, 2 X 200mm (1 x LED 200mm included)

Hey bumping this, I bought the adapters but it still doesn't work. The fans end up hitting my motherboard. Any other ideas before I just try and sell my kraken 🙁

 

[TheMailonG]

No, no, no, stop!
Have you tried mounting it inside the top of the case (under the cover), and not inside the case?

And yes, I unselected the best answer.

I did. But I can only get screws into one side so it didn't feel secure. The problem is those adapters kinda stick out a bit too... I tried reversing,them but that didn't work. Or is that how it's supposed to be? Just half way screwed in? And the fans felt like they wouldn't fit either. Maybe I have something installed wrong. I feel silly lol. Here is my entire set up.
