Does anyone know if a third party (i.e. better) cooler can be fitted to either the HD5850 or HD5870? Obviously none of the ones that are out at the moment are "officially" designed for the new cards, but maybe they'll fit anyway, does anyone know?

Also, anyone got experience with the HD58xx in an Antec Performance One (e.g. P180/P183/P193) case, how loud are they from outside?

Thanks!

I have a 5870 and it is inaudible at idle with the stock cooler and while it does create a little more noise under load I never hear it (the games make way too much noise).
