Are there any fanless heatsinks for Radeon 4870's?

I got a pretty sweet fanless heatsink for my 8800GT, and now im hooked on the whole silent pc thing. GPU idleing at 39 right now, in a completely silent case.
Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev 2 VGA Cooler, its massive but works well and fits in my antec 300 just fine.

Can you reply back as to how effective it is for the HD 4870? I'm interested in that setup for my gaming PC.

I have a 9600GT with the Accelero S2 attached and it works great, but it only has 2 heat pipes and the 9600GT definitely generates less heat than a HD 4870.

Well i dont have a 4870 yet, im waiting for a good deal to crop up again.

but my 8800gt, probobly generates more heat than your 9600gt. I did have a little problem, turns out my ram on my graphics card was overheating. I solved that by putting a 120mm silent 40cfm fan in the side window of the antec 300, now the temperatures are rediculosly low for this "fanless" heatsink

Its quite possible the same thing could happen with a 4870, but i already fixed the issue.
