I've got 2x 980Ti GPUs in my rig and running them with 2x ASUS ROG Swift IPS monitors at 144Hz but one card (in slot #1 on my Sabertooth z170s board, runs as if it's under load)

It's around 60C and 7012MHz memory clock and 810MHz GPU clock. I'm not sure why. I've tried swapping the cards and only using one but either card in that slot produces the same stats.

Is it because I'm running both of my monitors at 144Hz?

Those stats are when I'm completely idle. It seems warm/off to me.

Could it be the motherboard slot?

Is it at all detrimental to the lifetime of my GPU or should I not worry about it? I'll be upgrading to the 1080s soon so I'm guessing that'll be a non-issue after I get them but still curious.
