Need Help to Reduce Computer Noise

So I bought a prebuilt computer about two months ago (really not a better alternative these days for price) and ever since the first time I turned it on it has just been really loud. For reference I have a Ryzen 7 3700x with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 120 and an RTX 3070. It seems like the fans are always going basically at full speed and my temps are still just mediocre (45 degree C idle on a Ryzen 7 3700x). My question for the more informed on here is what I would have to do to significantly reduce the noise/ get it as quiet as possible. My first thoughts would be getting a new case/new fans that would provide much better airflow and performance so that the system is not so loud because I just bought the basic case and fans that came with it (regretfully so now). Any help would be very much appreciated as it is really starting to annoy me and having open back headphones does not help.

Have you gone into BIOS to adjust and set fan curves?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

what case do you have?

else you might need other fans if they are noisy, also reducing speed on the fans will for the most part help.

and are you sure they are fans that cant be controlled?

 

basic fans in pre-builts are often meh or poor, cheaply added but can sometimes do just decently in both flow and noise.

A 120mm rad is worse than a decent single tower air cooler. Temps are about what you'd expect, and if you lower the fan speeds, they will go up. I'd consider a different cooler.

Try to control fans first. Either with BIOS or using motherboards own tools. Or with 3rd party software.
