Undervolting is the flip side of overclocking. Both count on the fact

explore if you are building a quiet system for home theater or the
like, or if you just like the idea of saving energy.
Yup. Undervolting is made of win.
Another no-cost, high reward thing one can do is disable CPU turbo
boost. This can be done even if the firmware does not expose the option:
set the maximum CPU frequency to a little under the frequency where
turbo boost is activated. Peak core temps will be 5-10C cooler under
load at the cost of a little performance off the top.
