If that helps, the spinning seems less aggressive while on iGPU mode:

I have currently AMD Catalyst 12.4 installed on my machine

dd@dd01:~$ sudo aticonfig --px-list-active-gpu
   PowerXpress: Integrated GPU is active (Power-Saving mode)

The spin becomes more frequent when on the dedicated graphics card (dGPU)
