How do I keep my laptop from getting so loud?

Hi, I often play on my laptop and the ventilation is always completely loud. How can I change that? I've already turned the settings down a bit…

Depending on how old / "cheap" the device is, it is quite possible that the ventilation is poor. Accordingly, the notebook heats up and the fans spin up to avoid hardware damage.

If you now throttle the fans manually, you are more likely to break down more than you would like in the long run.

The air inlets of your notebook may be dirty or the fans have attracted dust. Here you should either clean the device yourself or have it cleaned by a professional

Thanks for the detailed answer, so the laptop (Acer NItro 5) is now 1 year old

I don't think he's dirty but I don't know exactly how I should throttle the games

Okay, since this is a gaming notebook, as heizfeld wrote, you should buy another external ventilation system.
My work colleague also has an NB with an RTX GraKa and these things need EXTREME cooling while gaming. Depending on whether the Acer have a kind of boost mode (for better performance (e.g. Dell)), then it could be that this is activated automatically when playing.

Here you can see in the software (with the Dell Gaming NB e.g. Alienware Comand Center) whether you can only start this IF manually.

Ok yes thank you, thank you very much!

If your laptop is not performing well, it will get noisy. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about that.

But you could unscrew the laptop if you think you can and clean the fans. When the dust has been removed, it's a little quieter.

Unscrew the computer and apply thermal paste between the processor and the heat sink. Search for your computer model and thermal paste on YouTube

Can actually only clean the fans and replace the thermal paste.

Furthermore, as already suggested, such a plate where fans are integrated. There you put the laptop on it and it is also cooled.
