Yes but this is an RPM Fusion issue and needs reporting there. Be aware there is currently no maintainer for this.

Please also note NVIDIA drops support for these legacy drivers September this year.

My problem is severe... without these drivers for some reason my laptop cooks itself until it crashes... as if the nouveau drivers use the card but don't turn on the fans... I wish there were a way of disabling the card in the BIOS because otherwise I have to ditch my hardware.

I use the term "card" metaphorically, it's not something I can remove.
