(mabye) dumb question about Crossfire and GPU load

So, mabye this is "noob", but as I am still trying to catch up to all the new tech out after a layoff, I am hoping I have a pass...:p

So I have noticed while benching my newly aquired pair of ROG 5870s, that the bottom (crossfired) card is at "extreme" load (the logos change color to indicate load %) , while the top is displaying "normal". Is this typical? (this is during the WH runs I am looping right now, to test overclock settings).

I have the itracker2 monitor running in the backround, so I'll be checking the utilization and temp readouts once completed... Just wondering if this was an anomoly, or a result of the way Crossfiring addresses the cards... Thanks for any input!
 
I didn't do my benching yet, but now that my two are back in business I have noticed that both lights appear to be in sync the entire time I'm in Windows, including during gameplay. They change colors in unison through all the different load levels; but again I haven't specifically run a benchmarking program so I'll try to do that later and post results.

Thanks, that would be great... Wanna make sure I don't have a funky card or something...
