I would recommend this Asus one, with Tri-Fans Cooling Design, its not the cheapest but not the most expensive, seems like a much better cooler than the reference one

If money was no object, I'd get the Sapphire 4870x2 Atomic.
In one interconnected package, the card is nativelly watercooled and also includes a watercooled heatsink for the CPU. Shapphire has great support and a 2 year warranty. More importantly quality as my Sapphire 9800 Pro, that I OC'd 7 years ago, is still alive and kicking after all these years. Check it out here; http://www.tweaktown.com/news/10867/...now/index.html

do not get that atomic.
me, as a person who shall take the drink some day (when i get the money), would not risk buying the atomic and ruining the card. i'd just buy a waterblock, tubes, radiator, pump and fans myself and create my own wc system. word of advice: never buy watercooling kits unless they are from swiftech. i'm not fanboying, i just know that THOSE are quality parts, not thermaltake's doorstop-like quality. either get the asus one, the diamond one (it's for $440 in newegg after rebate), or the HIS one. and if u want a lifetime warranty, go visiontek. or wait till xfx goes red in january or februrary and buy from there.
