Hello,

I just have a few questions regarding SLI EVGA 1080 FTW's and heat.

Under load, my top GPU runs at around 70-75, idles at like 51.

My bottom GPU runs at roughly 70 under load, and idles at around 30.

Is my top GPU's idle temp too high? I haven't tried anything physically (moving the chasis fans, etc) in order to lower this temperature but I have changed some fan settings to run faster when my top GPU hits certain temperatures.

 
Solution
The 5C difference at load seems about right given that boards layout, the idle temps are on the higher side, but its nothing worth worrying about.

There's one small pcie slot inbetween them. They're quite far apart, actually, standard position on the IX maximus motherboard.
