Advice on cooling my GPU

I'm having a spot of trouble with my Gainward Phantom RTX 3080. The GPU has become unbearably loud, especially compared to the rest of my system, the fans spool up to high frequencys and the noise is just too much.
I would like to switch to a watercooled solution to replace the, in my opinion rather spotty fans, that come preinstalled on the card.

Luckily theres a water block available from alphacool:

However i would like to use an AIO Solution, so my question for the kind people of the forum is, would it be possible to buy an alphacool GPU AIO and swap the cooling unit to the one fitting my gpu ?
I was not able to find an AIO available for my specific GPU.
If theres a possibility to swap the block around, would my case fit another AIO ?
My PC sits in a Fractal Define 7, i have my GPU installed and my CPU is cooled by an Arctic Liquid Freezer III, the 360 Radiator is top mounted.

Thank you in advance for any and all advice :)

Theoretically, that would be possible. But I would not recommend it. The conversion would be anything but easy.
In addition, the costs for the whole thing would be almost as high as if you were to build a small normal water circuit where you could continue to use everything except the GPU cooler for the next system. With the AIO, it would be over when you change the graphics card and you would have to dispose of everything apart from the radiator as it could no longer be used.
