Hello, im running 2 gtx 1080 ftw in my system, top card is a hybrid second is air cooled. Bottom card runs around 74 degrees, while top card sits at 34 degrees. I dont have any performance issues, its just that bottom card is running way hot while top card is running even cooler than when i had it by itself. Bottom card is about 2 inches away from psu which is blowing air downward.

hot air rises, I would place the air cooled on top, that's me. if i had to guess, I would bet there's better airflow to the top card anyways, and the water cooled card is not very reliant on airflow to the actual card(I know about the fan and vrms and, but the big temp producer is the gpu and that's not air cooled). So long as the water tubes are long enough, i would swap the cards around, if it were me.

no, but the bottom card is heating the top one....(yes I know it's not running hot, but I would never needlessly let something run hotter than it needs to).
Do you have anymore pci 3x16 slots? Do you have any ability to get more airflow to the hot card? I've got 2 aircooled cards, I spent a whole afternoon one day a year ago messing with cables and moving the cards around to find the best cooling solution. Not to mention swapping out some case fans. Keep in mind that 74 isn't going to cause throttling(when I tinkered with my setup, my goal was to keep both cards below 70, I succeeded).
