Normal for a SLI setup?

[darthanakin23]

I have two 7800GTX's running in SLI...

Both my videocards have the ACS3 cooling kit on them....I am also still getting the same score in 3DMark06, which is 6,205. So I am not loosing any performance, I just notice my GPU 2 runs approximately 3-4 celsius hotter then my GPU 1. Anything to worry about?

No. I believe SLi setup tends to do that.

I always thought that my top card was supposed to be hotter, not my bottom one. Right now my bottom card runs 3-4 celsius hotter then my top card, is that part of it normal?

That's a little off from what I've expereinced. My main cards, only runs about 1 or 2 degress warmer.

Your 3DMark06 seems a little low, but then your running a single core CPU, and I think that 3DMark runs better on dual core systems. I'm getting close to 8700: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=70646. I've got my CPU slighty oc'd to 2.6 and I've got 512 GTX's.

Since my bottom card is running 4 celsius hotter, is that something to worry about?

PC Perspective basically has the same system as me and they get 6,000 in 3DMark06. Does it matter what card I put in what slot? I never thought it mattered...

for me GPU #1 hotter then GPU #2 by 2-3c

On mine GPU1 is hotter than GPU2 by 5C at this moment. The temperature delta between my cards is pretty large because mine are 6800 ultra's and on my SLI-DR they end up flush against each other. Airflow for GPU1 = crappy.
