I have a 4GB GTX 670 FTW in my system. Is there any benefit from putting my old 1GB 550ti's in my system. Could the CUDA cores help? Or would there be no point especially because of the extra heat now in my system.
Thanks in advance for any help or input on my question

Doubtful that you can use both of the old cards at all.

You can try to use one of the 550 Ti cards as a dedicated PhysX card, but all of the benchmarks I've seen suggest that that's self-defeating; using an older, less powerful GPU as a dedicated PhysX processor tends to bottleneck the newer, faster card, slowing it down.

Personally, I'd just dump 'em. Sell 'em used or whatever.
