The fan noise is a worthwhile tradeoff for actually having the laptop be a laptop. I had one of the larger SLI laptops before and i basically treated it like a desktop because it was annoyingly bulky, and that was much more annoying than some fan noise.
Totally; and even if it does reduce the GPU power by a bit, a small hit might be a worthwhile trade-off for the portability. For me personally though noise is important (I often use the laptop while my wife is watching TV), so that turned me off of MSI.
