Recommendations for a VGA heatsink!

I have a noisy-as-hell eVGA 7600GT. What is a relatively silent heat sink for it? I may someday get an 8800, so forward-compatibility would be nice. I'm not a zomguberovercloxor, so I don't need to thermalgrease a kilogram of copper to it.

    i think i saw this one at Fry's today, ZALMAN VF700-CU. It didn't look too ridiculous and is all copper so it should dissipate heat very well, and therefore wont need the fan to be cranked up all the way.

    I've been looking into this too, you should consider an Accelero S1 I've heard very good things about it.

    Thank you; looks good.

    Downside seems to be its size, especially if you want to tack a fan on the end. On some motherboards it may block off some SATA ports too.
