Reducing GPU Power worked for a while but eventually it wasn't enough and the problem came back. It was inescapable in several games.
I used my Warranty to replace the GPU and I haven't had the problem since. I attribute the issue to the Graphics Card having a higher degree of fallout than usual. Working around the Graphics Card with program settings only goes so far based on everything I tried and eventually had to give in to going for a replacement.
My experience with getting the replacement was good, they sent someone out and they swapped it for me. We booted it up and tested it a bit before he left to at least have confidence it worked, ran some benchmarks as well.
Hopefully that helps even if not the way you'd prefer.
Did you manage to resolve your issue? I have the same PC and still the problem pursues(gpu fan reving up)
Only way I've manged to solve is to make a custom overclock in AWCC and lower gpu power to 85% and press the link slider to auto reduce the temp limit.
I also had to use my warranty and send it in. They replaced 3 parts so obviously was faulty from the get go. Really regret buying the PC and not just building one.

Which fan (front-fan, top-radiator-fan ... or one of the other case-fans)?
Or, is it actually the fan(s) on the video card?
Are you still under Dell warranty contract ?

Believe it shaves 2/3 fps but definitely is worth the fps hit to not hear that jet engine gpu fan roar haha
