I'm looking to replace the pretty loud/bad reference cooling on my 290 for something that will be quieter and hopefully cooler.

Is there a popular option that people tend to go for?

I'm considering a G10 & H90 combo or maybe an Accelero Hybrid. I've heard of some issues with VRM/RAM cooling though - is it a big problem?

Any help would be most appreciated.
 
There are a few, I think the Prolimatech MK-26 is quite popular here. I think I read another user that tried the accelero route and had small issues with VRM cooling but solved fairly easily.

Run a quick forum search and you should get at least 3 or 4 threads back that might help you decide.
