It’s literally the GPU’s (a 1660 Super) fan that’s loudest. I can’t change that out, afaik. The case fans are Noctuas and the CPU has a Corsair AIO liquid cooler.
Surprised it’s your GPU fans that are the loudest, I barely hear my 3080 and I regularly heard the CPU cooling fans, but then again I most play strategy games that heavily bottlenecked by CPU.
GPU fan noise is not something that’s easily fixable, unlike CPU cooling.
You can just buy those adapter cables that lets you connect PWM case fans to your GPU and just jury rig the fans onto your GPU. Not the best looking setup. But I rather have a silent PC than a good looking pc. Like you hear your PC constantly while you only look at your PC once in a while.

I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.
My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.
Stop buying cheap fans?
My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.

Yes you can; 3rd party GPU coolers are a thing and they’re not difficult to install.
(And next time I’d advise reading reviews before buying a GPU, especially the noise level section.)
LOL, imagine thinking you’d ever actually have a wide selection of in-stock GPUs to choose from and wouldn’t have to settle for what you can get.
Ah yeah not much you can do about that unless you put an aftermarket cooler on it and that’s a PITA.
