You may want to hold off on you procedure, replacing your cpu cooler outright would be a superior option. Cpu fans are deceptively powerful, and the high-static pressure they need to force air through the fins is NOT something you can expect from other fans without checking. As a short term sollution you SHOULD consider cleaning your heatsink (if you haven't recently) blowing out the built-up dust and debris will improve heat dissipation and should allow the system to run at a slower fan setting.
