My 7800GTX fan used to drive me crazy, so I replaced it with an Arctic Cooling Accelero X1. Cheap, easy to install, and much much quieter than the stock fan. I think they have newer/similar fans for the X800 you might want to consider: http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga1.php. The Accelero S2 can be completely passive or run with optional quiet fans. It might be worth checking out.
