If the rad don't fit, you must acquit...or move to a location that actually supports the size of the rad you're trying to mount.

Yes, your front can support 3 120mm or 2 140mm which is what you will need to support your radiator up front.

Many cases don't fit thick or any rad + fans or only 240mm because of motherboard interference on the top.

Some cases have Motherboard height adjustment for this.

You'll need to mount the H115i to the front of the 570X.  You can move the three stock RGB fans to the top and rear, and use the stock H115i 140mm fans in the front.  We don't offer SP RGB fans in a 140mm version, but there are other options like the LL140, ML140, and HD140.  The LL140 and ML140 will require a Commander Pro or Lighting Node Pro, but you will be able to control the LED color through software.
