Precision 470 runs cpu fan high on float ops
When the CPU runs intensive and especially floating point operations the CPU fan goes on high. However when those applications stop the fan remains at a high rate indefinitely. The only way to get the fan to slow down is to reboot or shutdown the machine.
Do you have a way to solve that?

CPU throttling prevents applications using more than a X percentage of CPU time for a Y period of time, and can adversely affect dual processors systems, and can cause one of the processors to overheat.
Below is a link to the utility, download it, activate it, and it will monitor the CPU utilization and alert if the CPU is throttling, and you can determine the offensive software that is causing the problem.

Is Windows XP your operating system?, and do you have Hyper-Threading enable in BIOS?
Some applications are coded to utilize Hyper-Threading, and can greatly impact CPU performance if disabled. Also, try installing Intel’s latest Chipset driver version 7.2.1.1003 from Intel’s website.
