GPU fan on NVidia 7600GT

I have a NVidia 7600GT card and I'm running the 1.0-9631 driver. Whenever I use OpenGL, the GPU fan kicks on. It's loud. And it takes a long time to turn off. Is there some setting somewhere that regulates that fan? If not, is there some way to tell it to shut off short of restarting the x-server?

that's your card being protective because it doesn't want to overheat.
