Yeah there is.
Which ones are people recommending? any reviews/ comparisons?
waterblocks.
I would buy a accelero hybrid due to watercooling benefit and you can easily make adjustment for vrm if enough air blows over them.
just a hassle to redo my rig if I go waterblock.
Yes, there are some amazing waterblocks out there, but I don't want to have to buy a pump, radiator, hoses, etc. I'm just wondering why there are no aircooled aftermarket coolers that sit on the RAM/GPU/VRMs. Like the stock coolers, but better.
Probably in large part due to trying to be compatible for multiple gpus and/or designs. If they made one that had good contact with everything and then a non ref board came out with a different layout or whatever, it may not fit.
I saw this thread on OCN earlier:

Yes I had this, reverted back to the drivers on the disc and so far so good...
It's MSI and Sapphire cards you CAN modify and keep the warranties.
Product Warranty will not be valid even if returned after purchased for the following cases:
-Products that are defaced or physically damaged and modified by customer.

You sure about this? I think you lose the warranty

That after market cooler looks tempting, I bet you could push the 290 a good bit with it

What clocks?
Its an OCUK thing as far a sI know, I have linked in other threads where the same question was asked a post from Gibbo clearly stating if you buy MSI or Sapphire from OCUK and change the cooler it will not void your warranty.

What about HIS? Any idea dude?

Sapphire don't have warranty stickers but they explicitly state in their Terms and Conditions that it'll invalidate.

As said, MSI and Sapphire allow this if you buy them from OcUK.
You can just leave the existing cooling plate on there if you want.
Using decent heatsinks would be better.

It's more OCUK allowing you more than anything ; Discretion.
If you went direct and explained you'd removed the cooler, they'd no doubt reject you.
I removed my coolers on my Sapphire 6870's, I didn't buy them from OCUK, both were launch day cards and broke (At completely different times, like a year between them) and I managed to get them both replaced successfully, but that was down to the discretion of the E-tailer.
