I'm looking for some advice on upgrading the cooling for my setup. Currently, I have a single fan on my RTX 3060, which tends to get pretty warm, especially when I'm playing newer games. I'm not sure where to start with my research on what fans to get or how to improve the cooling system in general. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

If you've only got one fan on your GPU, it's tough to upgrade directly. A good first step would be to reapply thermal paste if you haven't done that yet. It can significantly improve cooling performance since old paste can dry out and lose efficiency after a few years.
What are your GPU's temperature readings while gaming? Generally, you can check this with software like MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z. I noticed my card getting hotter during heavy games too, which is when I started keeping an eye on the temps.
