Wierd, im using 2 4870s and i've had no problems, not even a crash in the couple days i've been playing.

I have v-sync enables from the start though, i heard that alleviates a lot of the issues

Hrmmmm... well that's certainly not mind blowing FPS (although it'd be great to get that consistantly in a game.... :) ) is that with the 4870?

2 4870s, and in game, it's very smooth, i don't think it ever falls below 50 fps on ultimate settings

I don't seem to have any heating issues with my vid cards on this one.

FPS in the menu is 63.
In-game I get around 140 - 160 FPS V-sync off, everything at max and at 1680x1050.

I'm running with two HD 4890's.

The 'bug' only means your cards are fully stressed when in the menu. So your hardware should not overheat, as it is merely being used for what it was designed for. My Temps don't get any higher than the lower 60s...

If you do get overheating issues, this means that you should be getting them whenever you play any demanding game anyway. So it's an issue with your hardware/case airflow, not the game itself doing something wrong with your PC.
