v-core 4 500 pla prints horrible

I just finished my v-core 4 500 hybrid. I decided to use orca slicer for the v-core (usually a prusaslicer person) and I went with the ratrig generic PLA profile.
The material used was a role of PLA which I still had on hand. (eryone silk silver)
I printed tons of that material on a voron with 205 degrees on the nozzle so the default value in the profile seemed fine to me.
So I sliced a small print and started the printer.
My problems began.

1. Cooling
Having the fan on 100% cooling was not an option. It led to "spaghetti", the filament cooling down right after exiting the nozzle.
So I turned the fan down to 60%

2. print quality
The resulting print is literally one of the worst I have ever produced. Holes (rectraction?), missing parts due to them not sticking, bad overhangs (probably due to insufficient cooling) etc.
I really don't even know where to start with this, there is just so much wrong with it.

Hence this post.
What settings do I need to look at?
I used the v-core as a reason to get back into the hobby after a 1 1/2 years break (only ran my tuned in voron from time to time for small prints) so my troubleshooting skills are quite rusty.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
