Some PSU's have a thermal controlled fan, so it spins down according to the
temperature. And since the gfx card eats more power when its stressed, its
normal it "winds up".

Ought to be enough. Try open the case or apply extra cooling. Maybe you can
set various fans in the pc to run at full speed despite the temperature.

This episode is called: "an elephant ****s a pig".
But the networks had it changed to "an elephant makes love to a pig".
Which is kind of silly, because if an elephant was on top of the pig,
it wouldnt be making love to it, it would be ****ing it ! [Trey Parker]
