I wait on Crucial to get back to me on the DDR5 ram Predator Helios 16 Cooling Pads

While I wait on Crucial to get back to me on the DDR5 ram for my Predator Helios 16 I was wondering what people are using to bring the temperature down further on the Helios 16. There are so many out there with various reviews I thought I'd ask the experts here. Thank you on advance.

Yes, a powerful 5-fan cooling pad, the size of your laptop will lower the laptop temperature considerably. Reducing the Max. Processor Power State when on power from 100% to 95% in Advanced settings Power Plan has been tried successfully to mitigate overheating issues. Sticking heat pads inside the back cover above the SSDs is recommended if not already done. Use Balanced Power Plan instead of high or ultra performance plans. Check in Task Manager, Processes what program other than your games is running that uses a lot of resources, give those a lower priority with the Efficiency mode option (right side of menu).
