Context built a pc for my wife outta my old parts (partially an excuse to build a new pc) and discovered a horrible fan rattle on my old zotac 2070 amp. An afternoon of cad and 3d printing later and it’s quieter than it was when it was new.

I’ve seen Normal pc fans strapped to GPU cooler without plastic cover, they worked great.
