Very specific gpu fan question

This is my situation: I currently have a GIGABYTE RX 570 GAMING 4GB. Where I live, the Biostar RX 6600XT is going for 220$ (converted from my currency) 2nd hand. If you follow review of this card, you'll know that it has one of the worst pair of fans on a gpu maybe ever. So my question is: Would the fans on the GIGABYTE RX 570 GAMING fit on the Biostar RX 6600XT? I'm willing to go through the hassle of modding the fan to have 6600XT at this price

Unlikely ... there's several mounting methods for such fans, different diameters, different connectors etc... 

 

But you could just remove the plastic shroud and buy a couple 80-92mm fans and attach them to the heatsink with some zip ties, if you don't care about the looks... and you'd have to either splice the wires to the wires of the original fans, or just connect the fans to motherboard fan headers.

I've thought about this too. Seems to be a more surefire way to mod this, and I also like the janky look of it. Still worth a try figuring out how to fit the RX 570 fans on the RX 6600XT to make sort of a "Sleeper GPU"

Really any fans will be ok on a 6600XT, why bother ?
