Is the fan connected to the board?
You could buy an after market cooling system (air or water-cooling).
Most of these systems brag about the effectiveness as well as being "as quiet as a whisper".
To quieten the current fan, there is usually a RPM setting in the BIOS, but unfortunately they reset after reboot! You may be able to fix this once you install an operating system and get a program from nvidia or something to control your fan speed.
About the CMOS clip, sorry, I don't want to suggest something that could break your system (I'm too in-experience) but you could try tape it on with duc tape, haha.
