    Hi guys,

    What temps are you getting on your 980's in SLI ?

    I have repasted but im getting some really strange temps.

    1 of my GPU's is maxing around 70 degrees.

    The other is like 54 :S

    54 seems way 2 low..

    Sounds like you do not have SLI enabled. My 980s in SLI both range inbetween 50C and 70C. They normally are around the same temps +/- 5C

    imest,
    Would you still have those 880mxm cards?
    Would you be willing to sell them?

    Hello @cope123abc
    If it is not a problem for you, could you please share a image of your gtx 980m in Gpuz?
    I want to know wich Vbios came with it. On both.
    I'm trying to make a single Gtx 980m to work with my AW18 that came with gtx 765m sli but having a hard time with it.
    Sorry to disturb you with this.
    I'll really appreciate.
    Thanks in advance.
