Hi,
When using more than one monitor, the card uses higher clocks than in
single-monitor mode and low-power profile. As a subjectively negative
side-effect, the fan on the card starts making more noise. Other cards I
used before had no problem with staying quiet even when more monitors
were attached.
As soon as I switch back to single-monitor mode, clocks go down and the
card becomes silent again.
Is there a way to manually force lower clock speeds, and therefore reach
an acceptable noise level? Maybe make it use the same power profile
settings in dual-monitor as in single-monitor?
It really depends on what kind of power profiles the device exposes.
Boot with drm.debug=0x2 and they'll be in dmesg.

There are three Default and one Performance State. How can they be
related to the /sys profile entry? Further, how are the ones for
multi-display configuration chosen?
BTW: I guess there is a typo somewhere in the drm debug code? Evidently,
the last 0 is missing here:
[drm:radeon_set_power_state], Setting: e: 80000
[drm:radeon_set_power_state], Setting: m: 125000
