I have a passive heatsink on my Radeon that I've put on myslef and it 
doesn't get excessively hot. The original factory mounted fan was fixed 
on in kind of sloppy way, and I suspect the same might be true for your 
heatsink. Before I undertook the 'surgery' I get a replacement 2MX card 
in case I destroy my Radeon in a process.
I think you should continue using your Radeon as is, and look around 
for a spare one or 2MX in case things get ugly :)
