Laptop is really noisy when I play certain games

[The Wok]

So I recently got a new laptop I found on discount(black Friday)for 500 bucks(it's a gigabyte g5 md with an rtx 3050 ti and i5 11400h).
First game I tried was TF2, I had 200 fps on max and it was quiet. Then I tried battlefield1 on medium and I was getting around 90 fps but it was noisy as hell. Same thing happened with CS GO even tho it's a less spec demanding game.
Weird thing is I tried to cap the fps between around 70 fps and it got kinda quiet.

So my question is:
do I have to cap the fps everytime I play a high spec game or is there any setting or tip to fix this?


Ps: I have a cooling pad under the laptop but it doesn't really have any effect on it.

Well yeah, thats a laptop for you. When playing high spec games the CPU/GPU will go very hot and since laptops dont have much space for cooling solutions they have to compensate with brute force/speed of the air cooler so it will get very loud.
I would recommend to indeed cap your FPS at a certain limit to prevent your CPU/GPU from getting too hot.

If you let them run unlimited for as high as they can get then you will always have the fan noise when playing demanding games.
The reason TF 2 was quiet is simple that the game is so old that even with 200 FPS it does not even tax your CPU/GPU fully so they dont get as hot.

Look you have an 3050 in there. And no matter how 'low' power it is, that heat has to go SOMEWHERE. In a laptop that heat has to be exhausted out. If it doesn't the 3050 will literally turn your entire computer into molten slag. A laptopc cooler is useless they don't 'cool' anything. They at best elevate your laptop so it has some breathing room, AT WORST they block your intake ports and make your cooler work harder. Im actually going to bet your laptop cooler is in fact making your problem worse, because its blocking the intake vents at the bottom. Cooling the exterior chassis which is what most laptop 'coolers' do is pointless. Your heat problems are not in teh chassis, its in the GPU/CPU which no laptop cooler is ever ever going to reach.

If you play games at any reasonable refresh rate, the laptop is going to sound like a jet engine to exhaust the heat. You can't get around physics. This is a gaming laptop, its not a silent laptop. Its always going to sound like that no matter what you do

You should hear my fan... I have this cooling pad for my laptop, it has a pretty big fan, and when I am gaming I run it at full speed (5000 RPM) so I can barely even hear my games.

I found a metal stand that propped up my laptop and gave it lots of room to breath more effective --- an quieter --- than cooling pads. The cooling pad fans were often as loud as the laptop's fans.
