Waterblock for a Radeon 8500?

I'm sick of buzzing 40mm fans and have decided to add a GPU block to my cooling loop, but I can't seem to find any information about one that will fit my 8500 card.

Anyone have any ideas?

I don't think the 8500 has mounting holes (mine doesn't...)

Your best option is to take a reasonably (not insanely) large heatsink and just glue it on with AA epoxy.
 
I bought a vantec iceberg, which is recommended for the 9200 and up, and it fit my 8500 perfect. So I imagine that waterblocks will fit the same. Oh my card is an ATI made 8500.
 
How did you mount it?

I thought the 8500 didn't have any holes in the PCB. Did you use thermal epoxy?
