Nouveau team added initial support for NV40 (GeForce 6/7), NV50 (GeForce 8100/8200/8300) and NVE0 (Kepler, GeForce 600/700). By default, the DRM driver still boot at the lowest clock speed, but it can be changed using a sysfs file.
Since it doesn't really support fan control in Kepler cards, when the card is set to the highest performance state, fans will speed to 100% and screen bugs will appear making the system almost unusable. Despite that fact, this is still good news.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of letting the driver of a Japanese pop band [wikipedia.org] set the clock speeds of my videocard.

I'll have you know Japanese clocks keep time just as well as any clock.

I've RTFA and while they mention that fan speed jumps to 100% it appears to me that the only downside is that it's loud. The article does not seem to link fan speed to screen artifacts as the summary suggests. Am I missing something?

The article links screen artifacts to the highest performance state, which also corresponds with the fan running at its maximum velocity.

There is the rovclock utility. It can set core and memory clocks.
