I have a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5700 card and it's fan is super loud. Can I
take it out? Does the card need it or is it there just in case you do
overclocking (which I don't do).

Without question, your 5700 will last for about 0.2 seconds if you take off
the fan. Even with its temperature sensor I doubt it would protect the card
from certain death. GPU's do get extremely hot. I wouldnt trust passive
cooling either. Anyhow, you gan buy a decent cooling fan for that type of
card methinks. Vantec Iceberq VGA cooler, does the job.
