And before you try and say it's irrelevant because it's from last generation, no it isn't. If you were fine with HD4000 cards then the only reason you wouldn't be fine with GF100 would be unreasonable bias (avoiding the f-word).

Yes this is true. My top 4870 burnt out from excessive temperatures in crossfire mode. They are horrible cards and I wouldnt reccomend them to anyone, and the same goes to the Fermi.

ATI sorted out these thermal issues from the 4890 / 4770 onwards, something that Nvidia forgot to do.
