My 4070 Super is an msi (I realize that can vary)
Memory is T Force Delta 16GBx2 5200
"I have one, and the fan loudness is fixable. For some reason the BIOS setting has the case fans going at max speed all the time, so I just went in to the settings and set up a curve. Once I did that it's much quieter now."

On both units I went into the Bios and attempted to change fan speed and ASRock Polychrome setting for RGB. The save and exit completed but nothing actually changed :'(
Kinda sad that with a new gaming desktop has basic functions/features do not work. I'm sure the iBuy peeps will blame with motherboard company but in the end it's a pain in the arse for me. I guess I'll live with cycling rainbows and higher fan speeds until I figure it out.

On that page, it describes how you can change fan speeds. Again, I could be wrong. I haven't actually received the PC yet. This is just from some internet searching.

I very recently got a Cyberpowerpc (similar to ibuypower in the sense it's a pre-build) build from Sam's club. A clearance find that was exclusive to my store. It was a AIO water cooled 13700KF, ASUS Z790 prime, ASUS 4070 12GB dual OC, 32gb ram and 2TB NVMe for those curious.
Now getting to the point, these builds have fans wired in the most lazy way and directly to the PSU in most cases with only an RGB header plugged into the mobo. This is the reason changing fan profiles or speed has no actual response. You may not be getting any rpm readings either for these. A little bit of exploration and rewiring will go a long way. Google and YouTube are your friends. Download your motherboard manual and start reading their guides on fans.
Basically you want to rewire the chassis fans directly into the motherboard 3 pin connectors, to get the motherboard to be able to control the fan speeds (and fan profile) by load. On my motherboard these connectors are labeled CHA_FAN1 and mine has 3 of these.
Having them directly wired to the PSU keeps them on at full blast all the time, hence the noise.
Lastly, in my case my AIO pump and the associated two 120mm fans cooling my 240mm radiator were plugged into the right mobo connectors. The rest of the four chassis intake and exhaust fans were not. I had to manually to this and it makes a world of a difference.
Feel free to ask questions. If there's enough interest I can try and help more.
Good luck, and again congrats!
