Since the cooling system is self contained in the module, you shouldn't have that issue.

Industry first Nvidia card? Like it's a bit thin but that's the closest I can get to "erm actually"
Only argument I could make is that this is the first gpu module that has a self contained cooling system. Older mxm cards were just the PCB.
I have a Sony vaio F series laptop from 2000 and it apparently has an mxm ATi Rage Mobility M1. So I can confirm that at least.
That said, the cooling system is contained in the module. Afaik the mxm modules were just PCBs.
I'd recommend disabling boost and setting cooling to passive.
On windows, if you set maximum processor usage to 99% in advanced power plan settings, it will disable boost. You can set the cooling policy as well. Also repasting is probably beneficial. The more efficient your cooling system is, the less fan usage it will need and you'll get better battery life as a result.
That's what I noticed on the i5 laptop, it would kick on the fans doing basically nothing and would kill battery. When the fans were off, the estimates were higher. Also maybe disabling the P cores in both machines might be beneficial.
Out of curiosity, what cpu? I had an i5-1135g7 laptop that I motherboard swapped with a Ryzen 7 5825U motherboard. The battery life on the i5 was atrocious. I got 2 hours out of it doing note taking. Maybe 3 when new and I had the full battery capacity to work with. After the motherboard swap, I got basically double the battery life in the same conditions.
(HP pavilion 15-eg050wm and then I put a 15-eh2085cl motherboard in it)
Then it turns out to be a spotted lanternfly or another insect.
Or a jumping spider.
Ooof. Only time I had that issue was when I used a 35 watt laptop adapter with my old HP laptop. It wanted a 65 or 90 watt adapter.
