There's tons of complaining that it drives noisy fan like a tank or 747 taking off. [1] [2] [3] [4] The situation is that Nouveau lacks power management feature, its fan speed control is horrible not implemented and on some hardware defaults to *full* speed [5] As far as I know, there's no remedy on user-space so far, but some progress is in the kernel and probably in a near future it's possible. [6] Instead, could you try the proprietary Nvidia driver and see it fixes the issue for you? [7] HTH.
