I have a loud HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2xxx with the following specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics, 3.3 GHz, 6 cores, 12 threads
RAM: 2x8GB SK Hynix HMA81GS6DJR8N-XN DDR4-3200MHz SO-DIMM
SSD: Intel SSDPEKNU512GZH (512GB)
This laptop has served me well, although I had to undervolt it because the fan noise was excessively loud. The only way to keep the volume down was by reducing CPU power. It’s frustrating because I can’t even use the CPU to its full potential due to thermal and noise issues. This is the second HP laptop I've had with the same problem, and HP doesn't seem to care about fixing it.
Now, I’m looking to upgrade the RAM and SSD, and budget is not an issue. I want to make this upgrade count and get the best performance possible out of it.
Also, I’d like to add fans that I can control manually, or find out if there are aftermarket fan replacements for this model that are powerful and not as loud as the standard ones, so I can finally run the CPU at its full power without excessive noise.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

For RAM and SSD, you can use the following parts

For fan, no choice, update BIOS may help. Please check Omen hub, you may be able to control fans from there.
Regards.
