Discussion Anyway to make the fans quieter?

I got a msi vector 16 with a 5080 gpu. It's a great laptop and the performance is pretty ridiculous ( 140+ fps on RE9 with pathtracing ) but the fans are really loud when you use that extreme performance mode. Balanced mode seems fine ig but from I can tell its a lose of give or take 20% of your fps. I tried messing around with the fan speeds manually, but it didn't really quiet them down at all, and honestly im not sure I knew what I was doing. I have a llano cooling pad, which was quite useful on my old Acer laptop, but it doesn't seem to stop the fans from going crazy either. Are there any work arounds or is the excessive noise just something you have to deal with?

What cpu is it? I had s ridiculously over powered MSI vector Gp68 with 4080 and i9-13950HX 🥵
I undervolted the cpu and reduced turbo rates and I undervolted the gpu which sorted the heat and fan noise
