pfeerick, xalius thanks!
In my experience putting the fan inside the case reduces the noise way better than pwm does.
Actually I've started writing a soft-pwm daemon but given up on it once I figured it's taking too much effort for smth I don't even need :-)
There's a 14% chance that the fan will start at 56°C. Then the probability goes up linearly with CPU/GPU temperature until it hits 100% at 62°C. And symmetrically the probability of the fan stopping goes from 0% to 100% with the temperature dropping from 54°C to 47°C.
Did it on a whim but works surprisingly well for me :-)

I intend to add a little more to it where it keeps running for say a minute once it hits the low end, to minimise on/off oscillation when it does heavy work.I've used a stochastic approach to this issue :-)
