The GTX 670 Windforce 3X seems to have an excellent cooler

Check out a review: http://vr-zone.com/articles/gigabyte-gtx-670-oc-windforce-3x-2gb-review/15831-2.html

Nice, thanks!

I have that GIGABYTE gtx 670 windforce - it's an awesome card with great cooling

Other options if you can find them:

ZOTAC GTX 670 AMP! Edition
ASUS DirectCU II GTX 670
Galaxy none reference GTX 670

EVGA gtx 670 has best reference looking cooler

Thanks guys, And your right about " If you can find them"

I'm just tired of the single fan design thats been on older nvidia cards, i know the direct airflow
is good, but just seems like the 2-3 fans with direct force on the heatsink seems to work better,
esp. if you have a 200+ mm side case fan.

Good. The best GTX 670 on newegg right now is the EVGA GTX 670 FTW which looks like a 680 and have OC'd already and have a better cooler design than the reference - though you need to pay the extra 40 dollar premium over reference cards. To be honest, you can try spamming f5 on amazon and newegg in hopes of finding non-reference designs, but for now you can get a decent reference card that can do the trick. If you don't like the EVGA ones, check out MSI's reference card, which already comes with a mild overclock to 965 mHz from 915 reference clock. Good luck!

Yea, i signed up on newegg to get the alerts when the cards come back into stock, not to sure how much longer i can wait....my 8800 GTS 512 is ready for a dirt nap, lol.

Regarding OP question:

Great comparison/review on cooling here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-670-test-review,3217-13.html

basically, it goes

#1. Zotac AMP! (most effective cooling, but also the loudest)
#2. Asus (next best cooling but also the quietest)
#3. Gigabyte (just as good as Asus for cooling, but louder)
