Sapphire's HD 7950 Vapor-X comes with a large dual-fan cooler that uses the company's famous vapor-chamber technology. On the Vapor-X you will also find a "Lethal Boost" button which switches to a second BIOS with higher clock speeds. With this BIOS, clocks are increased to 950 MHz GPU and 1250 MHz memory.It's pretty good otherwise the sapphire Dual x 7950 would be choice.

so that thing is better than the GIGABYTE 7950? If so, Do you think the price will drop after the release of the new radeon GPU's coming out?

I wouldn't say it's better then the GIGABYTE 7950 certainly not any worse though.Prices have already drop quite a bit so i doubt it but you never know maybe...

One modded to use a Zalman VF3000A cooler-like mine ;)  .
More seriously, I agree with bigcyo1 on the Sapphire Vapor-X, best cooler out there even if it can be a little expensive.
One other point: AMD will be releasing some new (and not so new) cards next week, if you can wait I strongly suggest you do so, it's already been speculated that Nvidia will lower the prices of some of their cards and we may see further discounts on the existing 7xxx cards in the near future.
