is it worth it to redo the thermals or new fan on a 5700 ref card? Mine runs ok, but typ 5700, it runs really warm on the memory and the fan i freaking loud.

Is redoing the thermal paste and thermal pads worth the risk?

Other than the accelero, are there any replacement fans?

There is Linus method lol, where he took off the stock fans and zip tied 2 noctua fans to a card then plugged the fans into motherboard fan headers and controlled them through the bios. As far as redoing paste, it's up to you. There are guides out there that show how to do it usually for almost any card. But of course you must determine if you are comfortable doing that.
