Hello, I suggest you try to do a computer hardware test to see if the fan has specific error information, hardware detection method: Please connect the power adapter, press F12 immediately before seeing the Dell Logo, select Diagnostics or Enter Epsa option, Enter, perform hardware testing. If you see a full-screen color stripe appear, press the Y key in time to continue, and then wait to see if there is an error message. Or you can refer to the graphic tutorial, Video Tutorial
I ordered a Noctua Nh-l9i cpu cooler for my x51, i think any decent aftermarket Low Profile cooler should be better, but you will have to sacrifice the cpu exhaust shroud. As for gpu cooling i have an asus GTX 1070ti turbo, i removed the front fan (that usually won't fit with big gpu's) and put it on the HDD cage which i spaced up from the bottom of the case to allow for more airflow. couple zip ties and its not going anywhere, and helps with gpu temps. Also not running a HDD, got an SSD above the optical drivebay
