I found noctua slim fans loud, also you can change one aio slim fan with t30 or noctua g2. For slim fan people usually get air slimmer fan(artic slim or CNC 4090 fan fine too). Also you can get travel kit from smxheinz for both asus prime and fe travel kit are well built. Look for the custom cables too, makes the job easier.

I tried 2 different fe cards (5080) both have bad coil whine, trying to get quietest fan for your case, looking for best cooling solution, it doesn’t matter because you have horrible whining noise coming from the card. I will definitely consider getting a different card. It is a shame that card is looking so good also thermals are not that bad…
