I have a 5870 with a whiney fan, what are my options for replacing it either with the same fan if thats even possible or a third party cooling solution. My card is AMD branded.
 
If its the reference design aka Rev 1 or Version 1 then there should be a few nice 3rd party cooling options that will be quieter/more efficient than the stock design. I also once saw someone who did a custom cooling solution that kept the stock fan and part of the assembly in place for VRAM and such and a seperate cooler for the GPU core itself.
 
I run the twin turbo accelerator on my non-reference XFX 5850.

The non-reference cards mainly have non-reference VRM chips, making VRM coolers incompatible (i left the stock one on). Most of the 58XX series use the reference PCB.
