So I'm using EKWB slim 240mm rad, together with some NZXT fans that I had for spare.

Are those fans good enough for that rad?

 

When I put my hand on the rad, and I can't feel any air comming trought it. But when I put my hand on the side where fans are, I can feel it blowing in my hand. 

I don't know how many ppi does this rad have, but I think it's pretty much, since air is acctually going the other way than it should be lol

 

Should I get some others fans maybe?

are you sure the fan is facing the right direction I don't mean to undermine you but that could ve the case but ive had good results with noctua fans in friend's builds so I recommend giving them a try

Fan is positioned right as it should be.

And if I remove fan from rad, it will blow in the right direction.

Seems like air is bumbing back or something like this.

Still temps on CPU are always below 50°C so it can't be that bad I guess xD
