Thing is, when I check the max graphic clock speed, the Nvidia control panel and GreenWithEnvy are telling me that it's set to 2100Mhz... I find that quite weird since that GPU is rated to 1830Mhz boost clock and 1800Mhz gaming mode... Is it the norm or could this explain my heat and noise issues on Linux? Out of curiosity, I tested it on Windows and it's not as noisy.
Right now, I'm using the coolbits -12 and reduced the clock speed by 270 in GreenWithEnvy... Is it the right thing to do? Is it how it works?
Any help or piece of advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: I must add that there are no performance issues. It's just that the noise is unbearable; it sounds like a jet engine and destroys the experience.

On the other hand, I just found a much better workaround... AMD FidelityFX (FSR). With Proton-6.16-GE-1 and the launch option "WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command%", I reduce the in-game resolution to 1600 x 900 and I can't see any visual difference. In fact, imo it looks sharper/cleaner than native 1920*1080, my GPU never reaches more than 69deg and the fan load never gets above 56% in both tests I did in Witcher 3 and F1 2021. The problem seem solved.

what you can do is just set the powerlimit a bit lower, if your GPU is way too noisy and hot.
basically:
nvidia-smi -q | grep Power
and then run
nvidia-smi -pl xxx
you could also add the nvidia-smi to sudoers or make polkit rule for it to add it to starup for example.
