Obviously there are some pre-requisites such as but effectively you could get a reference card, spend £40 on a water loop, $8 on the attachment, and bingo a hassle free, very very cool, no noise solution.

I have 2 IceQ Boost 7950's, the cooler is actually pretty decent on this already and not massively noisy, but I have a spare Antec 620 so I am tempted to buy another and give this a go.

I have done this mod with the Antec Kuhler 620 on a few cards GTX 480's, HD 7970's etc, currently have it on my HD 7850 2GB in our HTPC (To keep it silent). The HD 7950 / 70 cards require a copper shim which can make using a Kuhler mod more fiddly. On other cards it's very easy and trouble free to do and is a MASSIVE improvement over air cooling. It's silent, cheap and very effective, well worth doing imho.
