Just bought new noctua fans to quiet down my system, but GPU is still extremely loud

Solved by OCNewbee,
You have three options and they are listed from the most effective to the least effective.
1) use afterburner to undervolt and underclock your card (potential 3~10C gain)
2) repaste GPU and replace the thermal pads with copper shims and thermal pasts *very dangerous tbh (potential 5~20C gain)
3) deshroud your GPU and replace the fans with noctua fans (if your GPU heatsink is two slots, it will not make much of a temp difference but noise will be more tolerable)
If you do all three well, then you can expect to see around 20C difference underload. At idle, it will be prolly be 3 degrees difference at most.
