Someone please kill this monster! Fan on 8800 G92 GTS @100% after 169.07 install

Yes, it is that loud! I'm using OpenSuSE 10.3 x86-64, standard install on a MSI Neo2-FR P35 motherboard with RAID0, all updates through YaST. Should be fine right?

I just did a normal Nvidia drivers install jsut like the previous version:
-su
-init 3
-sh NV*
-it complained my Gcc version is newer than the one the Kernel is compiled with, I agreed to this
-sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
And once Sax2 started the fan went berserk! I restarted and the bootup was quiet till xorg and KDE initialised.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

It seems to be a bug on the current drivers.

Damn, how could something like this pass Nvidia's Q&A? I'll reinstall OpenSuSE tomorrow to see if the problem is reproductible on a vanilla install from the DVD.

I just reinstalled OpenSuSE 10.3. Same problem as previously mentioned.

On the plus side, my GPU is at 36 degrees C and am getting >24000 glxgears fps :D

For the time being I'm using nvclock. Here are the instructions on how to install the lates nvclock in OpenSuSE:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock login
*there is no password, just press enter when prompted for it*
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock co -P nvclock

cd nvclock
sh autogen.sh
./configure
su
make
make install

nvclock -T <- to check your current temperature
nvclock -f -F 50 <- for 50% fanspeed
glxgears <- to stress your card
nvclock -T <- make sure it doesn't exceed 90 degrees
