What would you guys say?

Is the stock cooling fine for it? I'm looking at a build currently and trying to keep it as quiet as possible - are there any good heatsinks on overclockers that would fit this card and keep it cool and quiet? Seems like a bit of a beast!

Sorry if this should be in the cooling forum - thought here would be fine because it's about a specific card.
 
There is supposed to be a 4870x2 cooler coming out from Artic Cooling soonish, i've been waiting a few months for it because the stock cooler is so damn noisy!
 
Some people have removed the stock fan and strapped 92mm over the hole, im not sure what the drops in temperature are like but i expect the sound to be much lower.
 
The new ASUS X2 uses a triple fan cooler that looks very much like the Arctic cooler.
