If the fans aren't adjusting to the CPU speed being slower, then its
likely the BIOS just keeps them on all the time. Its a common default
setting.
In that case, you would want to enable acpi and all of the associated
drivers, especially acpitz. Since this isn't enabled by default, keep
a close eye on the system, and on the temperature. ACPI is under heavy
development still, so things may get wonky from time to time. If you
don't feel comfortable building and running multiple kernels, I would
just invest in earplugs ;).

Lost interest? It's so bad I've lost apathy.
