Aye, Thermaltake makes very good aftermarket GPU fans. Also make sure that you get a tube of Artic Silver 3 (or Coolermaster if you cant get Artic Silver) and apply a healthy dose to the surface of the fan that connects to the chip, before you install it. It will help to better cool the fans as it provides a better adhesion between fan and GPU, resulting in better cooling. Good stuff.

You also might want to clean the F/HS and apply a new layer between the F/HS and CPU while youre doing your video card.

Repeat this maintenance at least once every three months.
