^^^ Other people are having the same sort of problems...I still say ring them up and try and get a replacment heatsink/fan out of them. Send an email (Not from your main account in case you email them again in the future with a different story) saying the kind of thing given as an example in the link above:

"To Sapphire Customer Support Staff:
I noticed recently that my (model number of card) temperatures were getting extremely high. I found that the stock heatsink fan was making lots of noise and seemed to functioning erratically. Can I purchase another fan without having to send my card back for warranty repair? I would prefer this as I do not have another card at the moment to replace and need my computer for work.
Please advise.
Regards,"

I'm sure they'd send/sell you a replacment..lol.
Edit: Darn sorry for double post..:S How did I manage that hehe.
