Look at the Zalman coolers for a good aftermarket GPU cooler.

As for stopping the fan i would seroiusly consider not doing it.

Gfx cards like that one run hot as it is on stock cooling you dont want to fry it

The artic silencers are cheaper but imo the zalmans cool better and are quieter.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...c_Cooling.html X800 model

or

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...r_Coolers.html VF700-ALCU or Cu version (if budget will stretch )

Hope that helps
