Thermal management in nouveau running hot 3.12.0+ kernel

Description
Thermal management now works except it regulates between 91 and 101 deg C. That's what the sensors command shows as being the hysteresis and critical temperatures. I think it's way too hot. With 3.12.0-rc7+ it runs at about 65 probably full fan. My card is a 6800 Ultra. AFAICT, there is only one clock speed available. Don't know what is in the BIOS tables or the method used to compute the temp limits.
Best Wishes,
Bob
