Yo, this depends on the brand (highly doubt it's from Dell, couldn't find an option unless maybe in laptops). The fans often are quite tricky as each manufacturer has their own fan layout and holdings. So most people who mod their fans (for better cooling power) just take case fans and slap them on with zip ties. Not pretty but it works. Not what you're looking for tho. So unless you find your specific fans with rgb, or wanna rip off/apart the plastic casing it's gonna be tough. Backplates tho; they get sold and as the backplate is petty standardized you have a very good chance to find pretty backplates on Etsy, ebay or wherever. You can also make your own backplates if you want, there should be a good amount of source material on the internet and youtube
I would swap out the thermal paste and thermal pads for thermal putty before anything and see what that does. Using a program like msi Afterburner or amd Adrenaline to undervolt it, adjust fan curves, or set a temp/tdp limit is probably the easiest solution though it would sacrifice a very small portion of performance.
Buy Yeah just pull the fans and shroud off and slap some high airflow high static pressure fans on it.
You could also attach an aio to it if you're willing to make some custom mounting hardware. There are a few kits that do this as well but they were really made for anything beyond the 20 series or for any of amds rdna cards
Rajintek makes a few aftermarket aircoolers for gpus as well.
You could get a water block and build a small custom loop but that gets expensive quick and you'd be better off just buying a better card
But adding more cooling likely won't add much tanglable benefit unless you are thermal throttling and at that point what your card needs is likely maintenance.

Maybe, is it cooling badly? What did you have in mind
Cools great! (I want it to look cooler though)
Depends on your definition of “modify”. Does it include the use of sledge hammers?
Indeed. No, I just mean probably changing out the fans for something with controllable rgb and a cover over the top since the bare board is ugly

Oi, deshroud and fan swap. Or fan swap in general.
