It solved my problem, card has been working perfectly since. Took me about an hour to put everything together (I did take my time on it). It was a Zalman passive cooler especially made for my type of card so it fitted perfectly. No modifications needed except removing the old heatsink/fan and cleaning the GPU (leftover 'old' thermal compound). Applied the supplied thermal compound and screwed everything together. There's only one drawback, the passive cooler does make the card a lot more bulky so there's no room anymore to use the PCI slot right next to my AGP slot.
