Scythe cooler:

Or the Accelero S1 Rev 2:

Or the Zalman VF1000:

Does your sound-card block any slots which follow the PCI-E slots? If not, then you can get HR-03 GTs and put thick fans on them and never worry about temps again.

you could end the metal to fit the crossfire bridge through then bend it back

you can either bend it in the midle or just the tiny but at the end

The Scythe Musashi will fit, the ZF1000 will fit, the Accelero S1 should fit but I think you'll need slipstream fans.

Do't know if someone mentioned it, but the Thermaltake Duorb is also a good option for crossfiring.

I heard the DuOrb isn't able to handle the heat a 4870 outputs. I read on another thread, the DuOrb has a proper contact and everything, but just wasn't getting the heat away enough. The guy touched the outside of the fins and burned his hand, even.
