I've heard it drives the Radeons nuts temp-wise. I usually get 10-15c lower playing Crysis. Everything else I have doesn' t bring it to 100% (mostly valve stuff)
From what I've been hearing around here, people stay away from Furmark because it damages your card (VRMs) and does not reflect actual gaming load. Furmark is like IntelBurn Test but worse.

I have a Twin Turbo on order and I won't be using the memory or VRM sinks from the kit. Not nearly enough cooling. Here's a thought... If you have one of the original stock coolers (the red plastic leaf blower kind) then you remove the plastic shroud and fan leaving the solid hunk of metal base plate. That baseplate is already designed for the VRM's and memory and due to it's huge thermal mass it does better than any expensive add-on discrete heatsinks according to all of the reading I have been doing. I get my new twin turbo this week so I'll let you know how that goes.
