How does the air flow, and how do your thermals read?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thermals read i use MSI Afterburner, today for play with "Shadow of Tomb Raider" the GPU max is 58° degrees and CPU variable like 43- Max 62-64° degrees but the last degrees only few seconds, the ""much" temperature is 40-56 degrees, sry for bad english

Do the fans blow in the same direction, or opposite? If opposite, do they both blow toward each other?

Short answer: With that heatsink You dont even need to worry about fan position, unless you are going to extreme overclock that SHI**
Long answer: Normally the back fan exhauts/pull the air of the case, If i remmeber correctly, that back fan is pulling air in the image, that means it is actually pullying air into that other fan(no worries there), but... do you have any other fan pushing the air off the case? Probably not... so, what you really need is a push and pull somwhere, so, altought not optimal, i would say to turn that back fan around to push some air of the case.
BUt... Im not a pro, I used to build computers back in 2000/2005, back when this super components didnt even exist!

The Case fan (back) blows inside the case and the heatsink fan blows against it, to make you understand better they self-collide

They interfere with each other, and reduce cooling. Turn the case fan around, and re-check your thermals to confirm lower temps. Alternately, turn the heat sink fan around.

and the heatsink fan blows against it
The heatsink fan is blowing toward the heatsink. You can tell by the fan blades and which side the fan support hub is located (it's almost always on the side the air is blowing toward, and in this case it's on the heatsink side of the fan).

That's fine, because he has the rear fan set as an intake to feed the CPU fan fresh air, and the warm air can exhaust out the top of the case. It looks like he thought it out pretty well, given what he had to work with.

My friend said that from this image the "wings" of the fans must be in the opposite direction to take the warm air of the heatsink fan, and thus leaving it heats the GPU.

If you're going to change the direction of one fan, you'll need to change the direction of both of them.
There's an argument to be made against having that fan blowing air into the case, but only because it's located above where the power supply is exhausting warm air. But if you're going to change that fan to become an exhaust fan, you'll want to change the direction of the heatsink fan to pull air through the heatsink and blow it out through the exhaust. It's not much work to someone who knows what they're doing, but your temperatures look fine, so I wouldn't bother unless you can get your friend to do it for you.
In an ideal situation, I like airflow to go front to back, but unless you're doing some serious overclocking and benchmarking runs, a few degrees difference isn't going to hurt anything.

So is it enough for me to keep it as it is? Absolutely I have never done and I will never Overcloack, I only play with the PC, and I do not "experiment" of any kind.
Then another question but by chance they are good CPU temperatures with "Shadow of Tomb Raider" at 1080p, and the temperatures are average "48-56 ° degrees" and a few seconds of 62-64 ° degrees.
The maximum temperature of the Ryzen 5 3600x?
Comment has been collapsed.
The max temp for that CPU is 95C (though keeping it under 80 or so is always better).
You're well within the limits.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to answer your question.
So is it enough for me to keep it as it is?
It's not ideal, but it's getting the job done just fine. Personally speaking, I'd have chosen a different heatsink, preferably one with a cut-out for the RAM, but the person who assembled it did what he could with what he had.
What's really hurting me badly is that sloppy mess of cables in a case that appears to have a power supply shroud made to hide that mess of cables. :P

Thank you Tzaar, anyway i hope this position fan back and fan heatsing is good anyway or do work well.

I know you just need to unscrew the screws and turn the fan but I have to disconnect every wire ....

Better to have the case fan blow air out the case than in. You get better cooling if the pressure inside the case is lower than outside, and that can only happen if the case fan is blowing out.

This is so wrong.. it works, but it's wrong.
Top coolers should be oriented to blow air out of case and you should have at least one at the bottom to blow inside the case. Every fan has arrows drown on one side so you should be able to determine which way they blow without powering them up. If the 12cm fan on the cpu cooler makes problem with the ram, get 9 cm fan and use zip ties to fix it to the cooler body or be creative in some other way.
And split that ram modules. Read motherboard manual if you should place them in 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 slots (I think later one should be default, but check it in the manual).

For the RAM 2-4 already do it, i know the normal position is heatsink fan was right, but if this "strange" position work for me is fine, anyway additional information this case have top " big hole"

Why is that cooler on reverse? I think that's the problem.

that cut fins should be in the back, not the front.
Unscrew and turn the heatsink around. Don't forget about the rear case fan too.

Ah, so it does have the cut-out! Yeah, I'd have the guy who assembled it flip it around and change the fans in that case.

The problem is that I am not able and therefore I have not assembled the computer, however I wanted to know if in this position it is fine anyway. (I know perfectly well that the heatsing position on the right is better)

Properly done looks like that
This allow air flow through case and cool down motherboards components GPU/ SSD/ HDD and prevent Heat build up inside.
Intake fans have dust filter and always have more intake to have positive pressure inside case to decrease dust build up inside case

On yours photo you have reverse flow and I not see fan on front panel, also on most motherboard this Ram Stick installation is not properly done your motherboard model ?
Also cable management inside this case looks terrible :(
Verdict Person who assemble this PC do not have any clue how to do it properly.
Comment has been collapsed.
they put the ram sticks in the wrong slots so dual channel mode doesn't work and then they placed the cooler the wrong way around to make their botched job work?
who did that? a random person or the company selling you the computer? these are real amateur mistakes.
one way or another, they don't know what they are doing and should not be trusted with any task ever again.

I follow this photo to solve my problem with fans

Move MEMory to 1st and 2nd slots, then move CPU fan

Guys i have wrong with screenshots, that screenshots is old, my mistake sorry, now i reverse the Fan Case (back), now is this:
Comment has been collapsed.
I recently installed the same cooler, but the PCGH edition. Which is exactly the same heatsink, but it includes 2 fans for increased cooling.
The ATX specification (which your case uses) is designed to get fresh air from the front, have fans moving air from the front to the back, and releasing the warm air through the back. All fans should blow from the front to the back of the case (unless they're positioned horizontally ofcourse).
The fan on the heatsink looks to be installed the wrong way (as far as I can see on those pictures). The good news is you can reverse it without removing the heatsink. The bad news is that it's an annoying job with those metal clips. Find the manual for how they are installed, or examine your heatsink, and you'll notice you'll have to pull the metal clips to try to pull them loose. It should be the opposite way of installing them (which is pictured quite badly in the manual). You can probably find a better instruction video on Youtube.

I have this specs/build:
OS : Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
Case : SilverStone RL06 ATX
CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core
MotherBoard : MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
GPU : NVIDIA Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC 3x 8G
SSD : Kingston 120 GB SATA3
HDD : HDD BARRACUDA 2 TB
RAM : Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 XMP
PSU : EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3, 80+ GOLD 750W
CPU Cooler : Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B
They assembled my PC (unfortunately I am not able on my own), the boy had a problem with the heatsink fan to put it on the right because it "slammed" with the RAM, and then he put it on the left, another of mine friend told me that seeing these screenshots:
Fan Case (back) and Fan Heatsink left:
Fan Heatsink position:
Fan Case Back
My friend told me that having the heatsink fan on the left, then the case fan (back) should be opposite to the image (Fan Case Back screenshot), I would like to know my friend is right or absolutely nothing changes ? Thank you all
