I hate to be a bearer of bad news but the only way to successfully deal with the gpu heat problem is with water cooling. A Maze4 from danger den is one of the better options.
You will need:
-either a dual or tri radiator GTs (HWLABS) are nice and not expensive, the PA series are (thermochill) are very expensive for roughly a few C difference.
-distilled/deonized water
-3/8 or 1/2 inch tubing
-D5 or DDC pump (which is smaller and more compact)
-CPU WB like Apogee or Storm, etc
Cases
You will need either a tall full case or a short wide case.

Example of a water cooled x1900xtx with a fan on the vregs. Vregs have MC14s on them
X1900xtx with Maze 4 WB on it.
MC14s everywhere, where it stops I don't care te he he
Side note, they fell off so I went with the bandaids on the stock HS and they work just fine when oc the mem te he
