My oldest son said there a way to replace the fans with quiet ones. I'm clueless on pc and not even going to try.

It's called de-shrouding if you want to look up how to do it. It's not all that hard to do, it just takes a handful of zipties to get done right.

I read about water cooling but did find any thing for graphics cards just CPU.

This would likely cost more than the GPUs are worth. Water blocks for GPUs are specific to that individual card, and usually cost in the neighborhood of $100+, not to mention the cost of everything else (fittings, pump, reservoir, radiator, tubing). Unless you're going to go very jank with it, using things like motorcycle radiators or other used water cooling gear, you would almost certainly be better off just buying new GPUs. Also, just saying, water cooling a GPU is harder than de-shrouding it, so this pathway is dead in the water IMO. 

 

 

It's probably worth looking at the fan curve for these cards, as well as making sure the fan bearings themselves are OK. Unless you bought them brand new, it's not unlikely that they're ex-mining cards, and if that's the case the fans were likely run at 100% for over a year straight and the bearings are a little worse for wear and/or they flashed a mining BIOS to the cards that by default maxes the fan speeds out at all times. If you can lower the fan speed manually, that would quiet the cards down a bit and might make them tolerable enough to not bother with the aforementioned fan replacement techniques.

I got my boys 2 PNY GeForce RTX 3070 8gb xlr8 graphics cards. There great card but super loud OMG..LOL .My oldest son said there a way to replace the fans with quiet ones. I'm clueless on pc and not even going to try. I read about water cooling but did find any thing for graphics cards just CPU. If you can point me to the right website to get it done I will reach out.

 

If you have any question please ask.

As @RONOTHAN## have said, your oldest son most likely referring to deshrouding.

Here's an example :

 

If it's me, I'd just try undervolting first.

Huh??? The computer case is the exterior of the PC. Do you mean the peripherals?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

If you want quiet, but budget friendly fans I'd give these a look if you don't already have fans laying around the house.

Amazon.com: ARCTIC P12 PWM PST (5 Pack) - 120 mm Case Fan, PWM Sharing Technology (PST), Pressure-optimised, Quiet Motor, Computer, 200-1800 RPM - Black : Automotive

 

The power cables for these fans can also be plugged into each other making it so you don't have to buy a bunch of splitters like the guy in the thread linked above did.

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. 

Project Hot Box

CPU 13900k, Motherboard Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX, RAM CORSAIR Vengeance 4x16gb 5200 MHZ, GPU Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity OC, Case Fractal Pop Air XL, Storage Sabrent Rocket Q4 2tb, CORSAIR Force Series MP510 1920GB NVMe, CORSAIR FORCE Series MP510 960GB NVMe, PSU CORSAIR HX1000i, Cooling Corsair XC8 CPU block, Bykski GPU block, 360mm and 280mm radiator, Displays Odyssey G9, LG 34UC98-W 34-Inch,Keyboard Mountain Everest Max, Mouse Mountain Makalu 67, Sound AT2035, Massdrop 6xx headphones, Go XLR 

Oppbevaring

CPU i9-9900k, Motherboard, ASUS Rog Maximus Code XI, RAM, 48GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200 mhz (2x16)+(2x8) GPUs Asus ROG Strix 2070 8gb, PNY 1080, Nvidia 1080, Case Mining Frame, 2x Storage Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB, PSU Corsair RM1000x and RM850x, Cooling Asus Rog Ryuo 240 with Noctua NF-12 fans

 

Why is the 5800x so hot?

The PC is the whole thing: case, cards, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. It's divided into what's internal (components+case) and what's external (peripherals).

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

Antec is another good brand that is inexpensive.

Exactly.

 

@mikeskix: Tower is a large, vertical case, just in case you didn't know.
