What?

I have to doubt that graph, a GTX280's fan speed is in no way comparable to a 4870x2 and in without a doubt not louder than a reference 4870 even. The fan doesn't even spin up to half the speed of either card.

Aside from that did you notice the sometimes over 100% crossfire scaling in their review. I have never seen a 4870x2 perform as well as in that TPU review.

A refresh will really help with heat and power.
That was due to a bad connection between the gpu and IHS causing a ton of heat. I had one.
