Radeon 6950/6970 fan replacement

I have a Diamond 6950 unlocked into a 6970. It has a dual fan HSF, however, one of the fans has become noisy. i have cleaned the fan and even dissasembled it and lubed it, and yet, it still seems to make a grinding noise.

Example pic of the card:

I was looking at the card the other day and it sits directly under the currently unused 120/140 mm fan grates on my Corsair R300 chassis. I am thinking of removing the fan/shroud from the card (bare heatsink only) and running two 120/140 mm fans on the case side which is about 3-4 inches from the card.

Any thoughts?
 
ebay. chinese resellers have your fans.

otherwise, yes you can tie rap a fan on it.

or water cool it.

hey, as long as heat is dissipated, you are fine.
 
Are you the first owner? You could try to RMA it, if you're willing to be out a card for a few weeks (at least you'd have IGP). Remember to restore stock BIOS first.

You could also do a water cooler... a lot of AIO's are selling for $30-40 now, you'd need a $10 bracket and a 80mm (or was it 92mm) fan as well for the RAM.
