Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Does anyone else find these temps strange?

Theoretically, yes it should be running warmer.
In reality, there are many factors that can cause what you are seeing.
PCI-e slot spacing on the motherboard, GPU usage (the second card may be doing minimal work) or it could just be that middle card is cooler running in general.
A 10C difference would make me lean towards the GPU usage on the 2nd card.
I would suggest running GPUz or another similar program to log the GPU usage along with other measurements if you want to narrow down the exact reason.
You don't really have anything to worry about with those temps, though I do agree it isn't what you would expect with that setup.

only other thing i'd say is check your fan speeds, see if maybe it's ramping up the middle card way higher than the other two causing the lower temps.
i keep my fans on 85% at all times.
not that these temps are alarming by any means but i just thought it was very strange that the middle card is the coolest.

Doesn't sli cause negative scaling in D3? It causes low spikes for me at times. Read that was pretty much the norm.
