I have a computer specs are listed below and want to find the best way to airflow. I don't know English enough for that and I will tell you with images.
  • Asus Z490-G Strix motherboard
  • Intel Core i5-10600K processor
  • NZXT X53 240mm cooler
  • Seasonic Focus Plus 650W power supply
  • NZXT H210 computer case
Which is better for airflow?

To answer your question, the first image is best for cpu cooling.

I would not do that though.

The problem is that the warm heat from the radiator will not be good for the motherboard vrm's or the graphics card cooling.

My best suggestion would be to use two 120/140 mm front intakes,
and a single 120mm exhaust.
Most good tower air coolers like the noctua NH-D15s will fit and cool just as well as the X53.

What are you thinking about second and third image?

I had CoolerMaster Hyper 212 but sold it because it's not compatible with memories.
