GTX 470 Cooling

Looking for some aftermarket cooling for my two GTX 470's, they are a reference design and are currently running wayyyy too hot for my liking. Send me your offers!

EDIT: Found thermal compound... Thanks Bot! :rockout:

Im looking for both actually, my tube of mx-2 is just about empty and im looking for two coolers for my two 470's, VRM heatsinks with it would be nice as well.

Over @ OCN someone is selling one for $30. Its the 5870 version, but the only difference is part of the HSF array is cut away to make room for the 5870s double stacked DVI ports. All you would need to do is buy the VR003 kit from Arctic.

Highlighted physical difference:

After taking a look on AC's website i also notice the location of the plating on the Xtreme Plus is more to the right than on the 5870 making me believe it wont work with my gtx 470.
