Make sure to keep your coolers clean, set your fan curves to something appropriately aggressive during summer and monitor your hardware's temperatures.

This is computing 101. You just learned this the hard way.
Alternatively, limit the gpu's power level. Had some issues with coil whine on mine which was resolved by gutting it's power consumption by... 40%. And now i can still play most game in a fairly silent fan system without any issues.

3060 with i5-10600k.
