Thanks for the reply. I'm now trying to identify which fan is noisy. The problem is that I already have latest BIOS update installed and week ago on Ubuntu 12.04 I had no such problem with fans going to fast. My load avg is 2.0 at max (3 kvms running but not so busy) and long term CPU utilization is below 5%-10%. The only difference is that previously I had AMD Catalyst driver installed for Radeon HD 5750 and now I'm using the default Open Source driver, so I'll be investigating graphics at first. I also noticed that video card is warmer than other parts of my set but it might be a false alarm. Thanks anyway for the reply.
If it's you GPU fan that is running at high speed, that makes more sense. Graphics card power management is still a work in progress. There are a lot of improvements coming down the pike, that should make it for F18.
Looking at http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature it looks like power management features are complete for evergreen (HD5xxx). It also looks like you can set a profile by storing a value into /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method . It might be worth playing with that.
