Discovered that one of my video cards is at a lower clock speed than the other

So I ran a 3Dmark test today with my two Titan X's, and discovered that one of them is running at 1127 MHz and the other is running at 1000 Mhz.

This is troubling since I recall that in SLI configurations the cards will run at the lower clock speed between the two. Will this have an effect on my performance? I suspect it will. What should I do? Do I try and overclock one of the cards to have it back up to speed?
 
Hi, are they both the EXACT same card? (Eg. both from evga or both nvidia reference?) You could overclock the slower one to match the speeds of the faster one if you wanted but it shouldnt really make very much of a difference with a slower clock speed like that on a SLI setup. :)

I've never overclocked anything before for fear of voiding the warranty. One of these cards was purchased used from amazon on the Titan X SC page and the other was new. I could go after the guy who sold it used, but if overclocking up 100 mhz isn't risky I'd rather do that.

Well it still has the warranty sticker on the back of it, I figured it'd still work. Would OCing this just be as simple as sliding the clock speed up in one of those MSi programs?
