XFX Raddeon 4890 1gig ddr5 - which heatsink/cooler?

hey guys, my fan has recently stopped working on a XFX Radeon 4890 1gig ddr5 ( HD - 489X - ZS HD ). I did buy the Akasa AK-VC03-BLUV Vortexx NEO VGA Cooler for it. Although it says its compatible for the 4890 cards, it doesn't seem to fit because of a couple of capacitors getting in the way.

Are there anymore heat sinks / Fans out there which would work with this particular card?

Thanks

is this one my only option?

I didn't have any luck finding a suitable aftermarket heatsink for mine, as this card isn't a reference design. So I just got a cheap broken/dead card off the bay which matched my card and swapped the heatsink/fan for my broken one.

An image of the non reference card if anyone can suggest a cooler that will fit.
