It could be that the card went bang when the original cooler did, which would be unfortunate. Try re-seating the new one and using fresh thermal paste, it might just sort the problem if it's not borked.

I usually use a piece of rag, or even an old tee-shirt in a pinch, lol. I think most people suggest some sort of cleaning alcohol (ethanol?) to do it though.
