I think the lack of response is from no one having one and 6870. Best I can advise you to do is what I did with a cooler I have. Take off stock heat sink and test fit new cooler. If it fits and fits the cooler, great... apply TIM and install as normally. If not, apply TIM and put stock one back on.

No idea how much they are in dollars but get an accelero xtreme plus, I have one on my 6870 and they're amazing, reasonably easy to fit and really quiet.

I have the Arctic Twin Turbo 2s in Crossfire for my Powercolor AX6850s

I'm running an overclock now of 850/1200 and it is stable in 3dmark11 thus far. The memory clock is a little higher than usual, but I don't recall that ever working before I installed this cooler. 1150 is still good though if I happen to encounter instability in games.

Temperature hits 70C in Far Cry 3, highest I've hit yet. The second card is a good 10C cooler. VRM (on 1st card) are a little warm but safe in the 70's. The setup pulls in air from the rear and sides of the case, and exhausts it vertically. My H80 in push/pull has no trouble exhausting the heat set on high.

I have a Gigabyte 990FXA UD3.

It's a squeeze in a 7 slot case, but they do fit if your mobo has that kind of setup. Luckily my seventh slot is on top or else I'd be using USB for wifi.
