Aftermarket Coolers for GTX 570

Hi guys. So i recently decided to upgrade my videocard setup but instead of buying a new one i just bought another card like i had, a EVGA GeForce GTX 570, to SLI them. I'm very happy with the setup and the performance is great. the only problem is when i am running extremely demanding games and the gpus heat up the fans on the stock coolers keep the cards at an okay temp but are ridiculously loud. I was wondering if anyone with some experience on videocard cooling could suggest a cooler that would be quieter. I would like to find some relatively cheap coolers for them because i'm not looking to overclock and i dont need any better cooling, just quieter cooling. I tied looking around myself but i have never replaced the cooler of a videocard so i was not entirely sure what to look for. i would prefer to stay away from water cooling. I would appreciate any recommendations you all could give me. Again, i am running 2 EVGA GeForce GTX 570s.

Perhaps a GPU upgrade in in order. Not really worth it to spend money on an old 570 let alone 2 IMO.

I see no reason to upgrade to newer cards. My 570's will play battlefield. the witcher 2, Crysis 2, Metro 2033. and every other game ive played at 60+ fps on 1080p max settings. Even Skyrim with tons of mods and HD textures im still around 60. Thanks for the cooler suggestions though. ill definitely check them out!
