Same with GPUs - reducing the power budget on a 3080Ti down to like 75% reduced the performance by maybe 5-10% but dramatically reduces noise and heat produced.

What do you use to undervolt your GPU?
MSI Afterburner works great, no matter what is your GPU brand.
On Linux you can use nvidia-smi to set a power target directly in Watts, works well.
That doesn't undervolt. On Linux you 'cannot' undervolt as the userland software doesn't support it, but there's a trick.

Instead you can overclock, which moves the curve to the right (same voltage for a higher frequency), and then add a clock speed limit. You are now running the same frequency at a lower voltage.
