Good heatsink for X1900XT?

Im looking to get a better heatsink for my X1900XT, any suggestions?

I was looking at the Thermaltake water cooled one but I couldnt find any info on that with the x1900xt
 
the default one may be loud but it DOES remove the heat instead of leaving it inside the case...

I wish there was a way to change the default fan for something better and keep the design.

i wonder if adding some lead tape can kill the resonance?
 
Accelero X2. Turn the fan to 100% and it cools well, but is still quiet. If you have decent airflow in your case, then it wont matter if it exhausts heat or not.
 
Yes, the Accelero X2 does a good job at cooling - and like Munky said, set the fan speed to 100% - this is where the X2 does the best job. Also, the fan at 100% is very quiet. My load temps while playing Oblivion are now about 75C vs. 95C with the stock cooler at variable speeds - I couldn't handle the noise from the stock cooler at 100%.
