I know this is normally not the place for this request, but does anyone have a stock 5870 heatsink lying around? I am willing to pay for it. I have tried posting this in the FS forum but no responses. I thought I might get a better chance if I posted here.

My current one rattles while it is on and drives me crazy some days. I would rather not spend the cash for an aftermarket one considering the stock HS cools just fine for what I need.

I can not RMA it and I have tried oiling it.

PM me if interested.

UPDATE: looking at this: http://www.overclock.net/ati/646050-hd5970-fan-rattle-solved-valid-5850-a.html
Possible to do even with 5850, 5970 and possibly 4870. All i need is a new actually fan that has that triangle shape base.

Why even try to find a replacement fan, when you can just go fanless?

All it should require is to bend/trim a few fins near the video ports on the 58xx series.

Even fanless (good airflow through my case) with my 4850 overclocked, it only gets a couple degrees higher under load then it did with the stock ASUS cooler at idle.

my room is in the attic, summer temps can get quite high. Granted, my case can be organized better for some better airflow, it wouldnt be much and temps would still see 90C easily.
