    I have not seen any aftermarket coolers made specifically for the GX2 other than watercooling, however if you really need a solution, you can use 2 thermalright HR-03's, there's a pic of that around here somewhere, the only thing you need to worry about is the memory so you would need a fan blowing on that too

    its pretty easy, the cards can separate so you can fit each cooler.
