Hi, did anybody experience a problem with the fan speed of a Fermi not going down after finishing a crunch session? It happened here with a GTX 470, linux, drivers 195.36.15. Temperature goes down, but fan speed still > 90%.

Dont use Linux but that sounds similar to a problem reported for a different driver in the past, in which case the fan speed dropped and stayed low (a worse situation).

You might want to try the latest Linux Beta, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-256.25.html

Did you try nvclock?

sudo apt-get install nvclock
sudo nvclock -f -F auto

I skgiven advised to use it since my temps are terrible. I use:

sudo nvclock -f -F 99

My temps are better now. Thanks skgiven!
