Aftermarket coolers for 7950 cards

[B.T.Coin]

On some of my 7950 cards, the fans start wearing out due to dust and 24/7 operation.
I want to replace them and I'm looking for an aftermarket cooler.

I know the Arctic Accelero Extreme is good but it's out of stock on all webshops I look at in Europe.
Does anybody know of another aftermarket air cooler for the 7950 that is still for sale?

EDIT: I just saw there is a similar post in the hardware section:

Sadly enough, I am facing the same problem on 8 cards. The gigabyte 7950 won't even mine with 2/3 fans going. After about 16 months, all my fans died out.

All I can seem to find are those full cover waterblocks, and I don't really want to buy 8 of those either.

Anyone with some insight please help!

Why not switch over to water cooling?

[ford0415]

Essentially, you replace the fans and heatsinks on your video cards for water blocks. Those water blocks are attached with hoses leading to a reservoir and radiator to keep the liquid cool. There's a little bit of maintenance by adding the coolant, but it'll keep those cards frosty cool.

Have you guys tried strapping a 120mm fan to the stock heatsink ?

Zalman and Gelid both offer great soloutions. My only complaint is the flimsy wires used on the Gelid Icy Vision-a Rev.1 fans. eg they easily frey/ short out.

Hopefully they fixed that with the Rev.2.
