Not sure if anyone has done this but I wanted to come up with a list of aftermarket (air) coolers that will fit (without modification) onto the non-reference version (Palit and Gainward) board of the GTX 460. Now I've also just started including the non-reference Palit and gainward 560 / 560 Ti cards to this list.
Dimension of mounting holes of non-reference card = 53mm X 53mm
Feel free to add to the list and I will update it as much as i can on a daily basis.
Please make sure to show pics for confirmation that it does indeed fit or a link to somewhere showing that it does fit.
DISCLAIMER: Make sure you research the dimensions of the cards on the list below (will it fit in your case), since this list only takes into consideration if it will actually mount on the vid card and will have no issues with the PCI bracket.
I know the list right now is very short but hopefully with everyone's input we can get a nice number in here to help us out.

560 /560 Ti users
If you own a Palit or Gainward 560 / 560 Ti the coolers on the 1GB list should fit on your cards as well. Currently I have been able to confirm that my friends Palit and Gainward 560 / 560 Ti has the same PCB as the Palit GTX 460. I will continue to expand this list if new coolers for other non-reference 560's come out.
As a reminder, if your 560 / 560 Ti has the double DVI on top of one another then the 1gb list is for you. If your DVI is laid out in such a way that they are side by side and not on top of each other then the 768mb list is for you.
UPDATES for 2013:
1) Included the Arctic Cooling Accelero Mono Plus to the list as confirmed to fit in both 1GB and 768MB .
2) Included the Thermalright HR-03 (Thanks IonFive) to the list as confirmed to fit in both 1GB and 768MB .
