Cooling options? (alien.top)

Hello, I have the card in the picture below. I believe the brand is leadtek. The card works fine and I have no problems with it. Recently I finally upgraded from a 1080p to a 4k display and when I run many games at this resolution, the cooler fan is extremely loud. What are my options for cooling this thing a bit more quietly? I am not after extreme silence, some moderate fan noise is okay by me, I just don't enjoy games while the vacuum cleaner is running, essentially.

Tiny fans are whiny and loud. All your fans are tiny. Your case looks way too restrictive for a 3070, which means all your fans are spinning up to account for this. I would replace the case and fans before trying to mod your graphics card. . After you've done that you might be able to buy a faulty/for parts 3070 and re-purpose the cooling components. I would definitely do more research on this beforehand though.
