Each 4870 has 2 6pin connections, so you might want to upgrade your power supply just so you dont have to use molex > 6pin adapters. As for the 500W, you will definately be pushing the limits of the poor power supply. As to running hot, its mostly because of the cooker cage they come with. Now that i have my 4870s on water, the backside of the card doesnt even get warm to the touch, whereas on the cooker cage the back of the card was very very very hot to the touch.
