    hello !!

    just got two gtx 780m cards from and both are working perefectly , but one of them is running ten degrees celsious hotter than the other in heaven benchmark . because of this i wanted confirm if the card listed secondly is the secondary card?

    for example as it appears on the heaven on screen display:

    gtx 780m (good temps)
    gtx 780m (bad temps) <-----------------------is this primary or secondary !?

    dont want to remove the heatsink on the wrong card xD

    Thanks for your time !!

    edit : i think that is the primary gpu since hwmonitor is placing it first . anyway seems this is pretty normal , im getting average of 85 degrees maxed out on heaven benchmark while the other card is getting 80 ish . other than that im very happy with this purchase
