I have now 2x GTX480, played a bit in sli, decided that borderlands doesn't really need SLI to run perfectly all maxed out.

So i went and disabled SLI and not using the second card for Physx.

So, if the second card is not used at all, why its temps rise from 42 idle to 70 while i play Borderlands2 ? GPU usage is zero, but temps constantly stabilize at 70... ??? What gives ? If there is temp rise there has to be power consumption rising as well...

Case is Antec900, well ventilated.

Cards are one space apart, which is occupied by sound card.

Temps, fan tach and GPU usage monitored by MSI Afterburner...

Is there a way to completely disable second card without actually pulling it out ?
 
Is MSI AB running both cards at the same clocks? If so then temps on the second card will go up even with zero load becasue of the higher voltage and clocks.
