Also, will they fit on my Inno3d GTX580 1.5GB reference card?

They will do very little for you. If you want better temps and/or lower noise, your best option is an aftermarket cooler.

which aftermarket cooler is best? they look difficult to put on...

Not much choice, really. The Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme would probably be the best widely available one.

That or the Prolimatech MK-13, but that one is freaking massive.

The Logisys Dracula looks pretty good as well, but I don't know what kind of fans it comes with, if any.
