Crossfire question

Hello, I have bought a second graphics card for crossfire in my system, but when i hook them up, they are really really close to eachother and the top card gets pretty warm without running anything demanding on it. My question is, what would you say is the minimum clearance space for a crossfire setup?

I would like to have at least 1 slot between them. With reference AMD cards even more.

One slot, or a really good cooler.

My 2 290x's are half a slot apart, and the top card reaches 84 degrees on the core. It's fine, but relatively noisy. The cooler is very effective though.

Which two cards and which case do you use?
