Forum Graphic & Displays : Graphics Cards CPU coolers modded for GPUs

Hey Gang- I've lost the use of two Intel LGA 1156 fans due to the cr-ppy peg design and had to move to aftermarket coolers. Has anyone seen a mod for the fans which were re-applied as GPU coolers? I am not talking about something which mated to the card but a simple setup to pull hot air from the areas in which they reside. I have a multi-GPU box and would like to drop temps a bit more. TIA, V
