Hi so my specs are:
i5 3570k @ 4.4ghz
Gigabyte Z77x UD5H
Corsair 8gb Ram 1600 mhz
2x Evga GTX 670 2gb cards in sli
I recently RMAed my 2nd card because its fan was dying and i received a refurbished one in return. I've noticed that in games that utilizes 20~75% of the gpus, my refurbed card always run 5 degrees hotter than my first gpu. Though in very demanding games that uses 85~99% of the gpus like crysis 3, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Metro LL the temperature between the two cards are only 1 degrees. Should i be worried and RMA the card again? Thanks!
