r9 290

I've seen people put the Accelero Extreme III on there with good results. Be careful as with some cards (XFX maybe?), removing the factory HSF voids the warranty.
I can't remember what the Acceleros cost and what temps they produced, but another option would be to buy just the cooler (if you can find one on ebay or somewhere) from a Sapphire Tri-X. They seem to be killing it in terms of air cooling for the 290s.

I own 2 Arctic Accelero III's and they are awesome aftermarket heatsinks. I've seen significant temperature drops on my cards with them. They are also very quiet, nearly inaudible at 100% fan speed. Note they are large through!

Looks like the IV is the updated version, they added a backside cooler and a support bar which are both nice improvements, otherwise it looks like the same cooler.

What do you think of that kraken g10+corsair h75 combo?

The only thing that would concern me is if the H75 isn't enough rad to cool the 290. You should look and see if you can find any reviews and if anyone has paired that heatsink to a R9 290 or 290X.
