I'm running Karmic (9.10) and a Dell Latitude D630. I was running NVidia
drivers 173 and my BIOS was version A08. My fan was spinning loudly
mostly when the machine came back from suspend mode, but not
exclusively, as it would get loud at random times during the day. The
GPU temp was 60, and the cores where 38 and 37. I used one of those
pressurized air cans and cleaned the fan without opening the case (it
was very dirty). I upgraded the BIOS to A15 (latest), and upgraded the
NVidia drivers to 195.30 (latest stable). Now, I'm running a whole bunch
of processes to try to get the fan to spin loudly, and even though my
temps are GPU 72, Core0 68, Core1 67, the fan is not loud at all, and it
hasn't been for the past 30 mins, so I think the problem went away.

Can you guys post your temperatures? When you say Low or High, how much
is that? I'm trying to see what value I should set my GPU high temp
alarm.
