Power Supply 650W CM RPP

Benchmark Scores Nothing spectacular, I'm just happy it turns on.
After months of trying to locate an aftermarket solution that did not require some modifications other than remove old cooler and install replacement. I am slowly realizing that it's also almost impossible to locate a reference cooler for my Diamond Viper HD 3870X2.

I have compared coolers of other brands and it appears that it might work as long the card is based on the AMD reference design.

My question is. Where do I buy those reference coolers? Either used or new, as long as it is working and will fit.

I did a search for anything HD3870x2 related here, unfortunately did not find the answer I was looking for, if anyone has info please do share and it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help and info.
