AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4GB graphics card

I am no computer genius, but this seems like a decent machine. Are there settings I can change to help with the heat/fan?

Should I consider a PC gaming laptop? If so, which one?

Thank you.
I had the 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro and it also was pretty loud with OOTP 21. I don't have it anymore for OOTP 22 as I swapped it for an M1 MacBook Air.

I did use smcfancontrol to quiet the fans but that obviously isn't recommended so a use at your own risk thing.
