GTX560 SLI overheating issues. Aftermarket cooler suggestions?

I have 2 gtx560s in SLI. They both are this style "blower" or "reference" cooler: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/wp-content/uploads/zotac_geforce_gtx_560_se_01.jpg My cards are the PNY version (couldn't find a picture).

My board is mATX so the cards are stacked right on top of each other. My case has great airflow and I know the cards themselves are the issue. I have disassembled and re-pasted both cards but they still run VERY hot.

Are there any good aftermarket (non-watercooling) solutions which would work well. I believe non-reference coolers would work better in this situation

Thanks!

Yes, they do work great. However, check your voltages with the 32x.xx drivers, with my old 560's (God rest thier burnt out souls) it way overvolted them, and fried them. Thus why I have a 780 now...

Now, to my original question...are you using the 32x.xx drivers?

You wouldn't happen to have any driver above 314.22 would you? Go read on the geforce forums. I have a GTX 780 and I had to modify 314.22 drivers to support my card, but my card runs stable with them. The 32x.xx drivers all blow with probs. I suggest you go back to them if you have the new ones.
