We spotted this on one CeBIT already, but the word is out and it is final. Arctic Cooling has announced the new Accelero XTREME 5970 / 5870 - Ultimate Cooling Weapon for ATI Radeon HD5970 and HD5870. Now bare in mind, I stared at this product and the cooler is HUGE. It will eat away at least three slots .. maybe even four.
Still, the AC coolers are amongst the best when it comes to a refined balance of silence and performance. The performance is (according to AC) 40C cooler then the stock cooler running at only 0.5 Sone.

Cooling performance
Both models are equipped with three 92mm PWM fans running from 900 to 2,000 RPM, generating 81 CFM airflow for efficient heat dissipation from the core(s).
The Accelero XTREME 5970 is designed with an 8-heatpipe and 119-fin architecture to achieve 300 watts cooling for the dual-GPU Radeon HD5970. A layer of the ARCTIC MX-2 thermal compound is also pre-applied on the base of Accelero XTREME 5970.
The results are very promising
