One thing you can check, are you running "DynamicClocks"?  Check the
"Device" section of your xorg.conf for the line:
Option "DynamicClocks" "true"
If it's not there, try adding it. This allows the clock speed to
dynamically change in response to load.  When I added this, my R32
became much quieter.
