You can do that but why would you want to? 

What are your specs and temps? Is the system too noisy?

There seems to be a terminology issue.  By “fan cooler” do you mean a “case fan”?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Ah.  Case fans then.  There are a few types of fans.  “Case fans” are built for high cfm, low static pressure and low noise. “Liquid Cooler fans” are built for high static pressure to push through cooler fins but it costs them some CFM.  “CPU fans” are generally very similar to liquid cooler fans except they sometimes have additional features and tend to be of higher general quality.

In that case the answer is “almost always no” though if a CPU fan is pointing in a particular direction a case fan very close to it does not want to point in an opposite one.

Sorry english is not my first language, is just fans

I’m sure my command of your native language is much poorer than your command of mine.

Sure, you can do that. What fans did you have in mind?

If you're referring to XFan's, they're alright. Are there any other red fan options available?

Can you link us to where you're shopping?

I'm not sure if they're any better than the XFans but I don't see anything better for the price. The non-square frame on the MF120L's leak out air and the airflow seems low according to specs but it doesn't use the translucent plastic on the XFan which is more likely to resonate. 

Unless you can stretch a bit more for AF120 (2018)'s, I'd recommend just going with whichever you prefer the look of. https://www.kabum.com.br/cgi-local/site/produtos/descricao_ofertas.cgi?codigo=100221
