Question Cooling-Noise solutions for RX 6900 XT

[anrrriii]

Good day to y'all.
I come here with a rather complicated question.
When I was buying GPU's recently, I was met with a dilemma, should I get "lower tier RX 6900 XT in my case BIOSTAR model" or go with "higher tier RX 6800 XT- RTX 3080".
Welll I went with "lower tier RX 6900 XT" and mostly I'm okey with my choice, the graphic card is running good and being cool but... It's sooo fricking loud, and that's driving me crazy...
I undervolted the card, didn't help, tried manipulating the fan curve in MSI Afterburner, it's bios locked until certain point... 0 fan cool technology is bad as well but it's again locked behind bios, I can't turn it off nor control it. It has a bit of coil whine but that's really rare.
So I came here to see if you guys can give me any possible options or solutions to my problem
Should I change the whole cooling shroud, switch the fans, flash another bios, buy water cooling block, I have no idea what would be the smart move.
Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome.
PC specs if needed

Biostar RX 6900 XT

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. Make and model of your case, the number of fans in said case and their orientation? Ambient room air temps?

Undervolting is the way t go actually. Which variant of the RX6900XT from Biostar do you have?

Should I change the whole cooling shroud, switch the fans, flash another bios, buy water cooling block, I have no idea what would be the smart move.
You'll void your warranty of you tamper with the cooling. Might return the card and get something higher in quality or swap over to the RTX3080. If your case and cooling in said build can't be improved.

On second thoughts, what card were you working with prior to the RX6900XT? Did you run DDU to remove all GPU(Intel, Nvidia and AMD) drivers from your platform before manually installing the latest driver sourced from AMD's support site?

Yes sorry for lack of info, basically it's this one https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/vga/introduction.php?S_ID=298 or if you need just the model number it's :

VA69T6AMP2​

For case not gonna lie it's modded af so I could fit my water cooling, it's truly a Frankenstein of a case, I have 2 fans but they are kind useless since case is open, Ambient temps are around 18-23 I guess in summer since I have AC unit in a small room, In winters it's even lower.
RN according to MSI afterburner I undervolted it to 1080mV but playing around with Voltage didn't give much results, temps never exceed 68-69c on full load but on the hotspot they are around 95c or lower.
Considering the warranty I bought it second hand so I don't have to worry about it. I had GTX 1080 but did everything you said DDU and plus than I formatted the NVMe and got new copy of windows. I was thinking of getting a higher quality case but not sure if that would solve my issue.
Nearly forgot about the PSU it's EVGA 850 G3 supernova it's silent and works well, never had any issues with it.
