As for the speed of the fans; I'm not sure. It's whatever they're suppose to be at. I didn't change anything
Some people connect it to mobo making their speed dynamic based on temps (less life but less noise too), others connect fans to PSU/Molex making them static/100% (more life but noisier)
Some tech tips. When choosing fans, leave RPM alone. Pay attention to CFM (Airflow, 60+) + dB (Noise, 25-) + Air pressure (for heatsinks). My four 80CFM fans raise a storm inside my case. Never had heat build up. You're using more than 500W of power.
My entire PC will probably need a full rebuild soon, all the parts are fairly "old". And I think the fans are nearing their final years
Your build is pretty good. Other than changing the PSU, I don't think you would get increased performance from going newer unless you go very high-end.
I don't have much dust in my system at all
Then, your PSU or its fan might be dying. Winter might help if your room tends to get cold.
BTW, maybe it was like this from the start. You're using more than 500W of power. I assumed it happened recently.
the CPU, Rear Exhaust, and 2 side panel fans are connected to the Mobo.
The Front and SSD cage are connected to a fan controller because the plugs wouldn't reach the Mobo. The setting is set to auto, which usually overs around 40 to 60%.
The fans I use are all Corsair fans. 120mm IIRC. 2 LED, 2 Stock, AF and SP models.
I'm not sure my computer really is up to par with how I'd like it to run. I read that newer parts generate less heat, and use less electricity. So that is 1 reason I'd want an upgrade (based on hardware limitations, I'd need to upgrade the Mobo Ram and CPU all at once anyway).
As for the winter. It doesn't get much cooler here in Florida sad to say lol.
My PSU is 750, so how far above 500 am I using?
any troubleshooting is welcomed. I know how to put computers together, and make sure they work (via PCPartPicker) but other than installing windows OS; I don't know too much.

There's no great need to upgrade just yet, but depending on your monitor a faster GPU may be useful.
Fans are cheap enough to be regarded as throwaway items: Noctua, Phanteks and BeQuiet! make some of the best available.
Obviously you've cleaned out the PSU air filter? Seriously, you'll be amazed at the number of people who forget this simple step.
Try turning the PSU upside down, and leaving the side panel off to check the fan operation/temperatures even the best fans have a finite life, and while doing so you may be unpleasantly surprised how much crud has built up in there, despite the case air filters..
Bottom mounted PSUs have the obvious issue that they tend to hoover up any dust, animal fur or carpet fibre around and the stuff can get deep inside, making removal a real pain. You won't get dust out of a PSU using an air can, you'll need to take it out and get it to a place with a proper compressor and airline to shift any buildup, either that or partially strip it down to gain access to the internal heatsinks and fan.
Using a garage type airline isn't recommended, you risk overspeeding the fan and damaging it, but it can be held with a suitable pen/pencil or screwdriver.
I have 1 1440p DELL monitor. and 2 1080p monitors. The third is an old monitor that I newly connected to my PC, but I usually leave it off/unconnected because its above my desk and a pain to use.
I have cleaned out the PSU with the can of air. Completely removed it from the case and got the vent and fan.
The PSU and my GPU both have a feature where the fans don't spin until they're "needed". But I can turn it upside down to see if they spin while I notice it being so seemingly hot.
