Really? 
Because they run fine as far as I can see. I got white lines and flashes in Skyrim, in heavily forested areas, when using 4xMSAA (Transparency AA). Turning that down to 2xMSAA, and still using 8xAA and FXAA, with the Ultra settings preset solves the issue. Skyrim is pretty useless with SLI anyway, and I know multisampling AA is incredibly intensive - perhaps just too intensive for the 560 Ti?
As mentioned before, Battlefield 3 also runs like a dream, constant 60fps on maxed out settings without any visual glitches. And that's over prolonged gaming sessions.
Furmark's flashing worried me, but it only happens with SLI enabled. I guess there's always the chance that the second card is borked though...
Is there a way to run a test in Furmark or OCCT on the second GPU alone? Or do I have to swap their position in my build and disable SLI to do that? Because I really don't trust myself with expensive parts and wires

You should get no lines or flashes. Those are artifacts. It means your GPUs are overheating and artifacting or artifacting anyway. Both likely mean they are faullty. Though it could also be a problem with your coolers. And if boht GPUs are artifacting when tested individually, it could also point to your case cooling not being sufficient. But it sounds like you got plenty of cooling.
Getting two faulty cards is rare. But perhaps that is it.
