Sure, why not... Yeah, I had a fan go bad on one of my GF4MX cards. 
Replaced it with a beast heatsink. Vantec makes some decent little 
replacement kits, fanless and fanned. For higher-end (i.e. hotter) 
cards, there's always the heatpipe conversion as well. At the moment, 
I'm just running a fanless (to begin with) GF FX 5200.
