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
i pulled the shroud off mine and with a hefty oc I usually hit 70c max
here's the pic

rofl that looks menacing, brilliant xD
Im not sure if I'm of the skill level to do some thing like that...
its pretty easy, the cards can separate so you can fit each cooler.
Really tempted to do this.... but i just dont have £50 to spend atm :(, the 9800gx2 is loud and hot and would be the ideal suloution but i just have the money :(, i wonder would the casing for the card fit back over the card now ?
How much of a temp drop from the TR's? Probably at least 30C under load :)
