How quiet are the fans on an Octane IV?

I am looking to put together a gaming laptop for my wife and the only thing that will bother her is loud fans while gaming, how efficient is the cooling and how quiet the fans.
We will be going for a 1080 8700k variant with the better cooling thermal paste.

Well, it's a laptop stuffed with a desktop CPU and a high end gaming GPU better than most desktop GPUs. So it's not going to be silent :)

You can see reviews users have posted of their Octanes here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-Show-off-your-new-PC-Laptop! and many will have commented on noise or you can post to ask them.

A cooling pad with fans will help with temps and therefore noise.

Is the laptop only going to be gaming at home, or is it for mobile gaming outside the home? I ask because if the former, you could get a quiet gaming desktop PC, have it in another room even, and play the games using in-home streaming on any cheap laptop you like, which will be quieter as it's not running the game itself.
