That's interesting.  By chance are you now using the proprietary
drivers and/or compiz and you weren't under debian/freebsd?  e.g. you
are working the card harder now doing 3d stuff it wasn't doing
before...  Just a thought.  I mean, nvidia wouldn't put a fan on it
unless they had to - those things cost money :-)
