Aftermarket cooler for an EVGA GTX 570

Hi. I want to replace the cooler on my gtx 570. I'm willing to spend maybe $100. I care mostly about noise (particularly noise during idle times). Can you guys make any recommendations? I already know about the Accelero Xtreme PLUS but am concerned about various negative reports I've heard about it ...
