@Guthrie79 from a photo of the product box I can't tell if you are trying to install the radiator in front or up top.
I don't think you will be able to get the LCD display since you do not have a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard. You will also not be able to fully utilize that "Breakout Cable". Assuming you have the OEM rear chassis fan in place, you can try this: connect the pump SATA power cable to a SATA connector from your PSU; connect the 3-pin pump cable to motherboard FAN CPU; connect one of your radiator fans to motherboard FAN SYS4; connect the other radiator fan to motherboard FAN SYS5.
It is possible you could use the Kraken Breakout Cable fan connectors without generating an error.

It was not validated for use in the R16. That being said, it all depends on the original configuration and if it was air or liquid cooled.

@Guthrie79 what error are you getting?
Kraken should work if you got it installed and connected correctly. Drop a few photos of the inside of your R16 so we can see what you have going on.

So, I already hooked the air cooler back up. But when I had it hooked up said CPU fan failure. At one point I could hear the pump working but no fans or lcd display.
