Do this at your own risk etc, for getting a better cooling and a lot less noise. Please leave comments and I will update the guide if needed.

1) CHECK for approx. 60mm spacing between heatsink mount points. Measure that your card has this.
I believe some of the high end Decklink models have a larger heatsink size.
2) buy Enzotech SLF-40mm copper heatsink (low noise fan is included)

This is heavy, high quality copper heatsink. It fits directly onto the card without any modification.
3) Remove old heatsink. Install new heatsink onto the card using the silicon paste included with the Enzotech heatsink, or something like Noctua thermal paste.
4) Fan connector needs to be changed from the stock cooler to Enzotech. This can be done using 3M "Scotchlock" UY2 connectors without owning solder or wire strippers. Red wire goes to red wire. Black wire goes to black wire. Yellow wire goes to white wire. In my case I just soldered them.
5) Mount the card to computer and test that the fan spins.
