Got an Accelero twin turbo pro on my 6870 BE, best 25 quid ive spent lately, silent and my card never gets above 55c after hours of gaming.
The cheapest would be to leave it as stock of course.
The quieter and cooler you want it then generally the more you will need to spend.
The Shaman is probably one of the most expensive (£50) and takes up a lot of space but is amongst the quietest you can get according to spcr. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18259344 The noise reduction on my 6950 is worth every single pound of the fifty I spent. High load sounds just like idle to me now.
The Twin Turbo is half the price but only has a cooling capacity of 120 Watts which even though already promoted in this thread sounds a bit tight to me.
The Arctic Extreme Plus 2 has a 250 Watt limit which will cover the 6870 easily and will work potentially with your next graphics card but again costs £50 or so.
Setsugen (the two slotter) is also £50 but will be noisier I suppose.
