I have the PCI-E version and the fan is really noisy.  Looking for alternate cooling solutions.  Anyone replaced the stock fan with something quieter?  I'm going to check Zalman, Arctic Cooling, etc but I thought I'd see if there were any recommendations here.

It might just be that fan. The one I had was quiet.

You may have more luck googling hardware forums for fan mods on the underlying card (it's just a Radeon X550 with a special bios).
