i dun think RM250 goin to make a good dual slot cooler for RV700 looking at how hot is 4870 now..........
3870x2 heat sink is actaully quite simple design, only solid block with fins, hope they took Asus 9600GT matrix design to their 4870 X2 with all those heat pipe and may be saphire own vapour chamber thing to bring the temp down |

Dual card will not be ideal solution.Rather go for strong single card and single card also produce less heat as well.
