Parallel bridge.

[Emjay86]

Hey guys, I have a parallel bridge for my two GTX 580's (just installed) and I was curious as to how the temps would be different.

I read up somewhere that parallel meant that both cards would read similar temps and on idle I currently have 34 on GPU 1 and 33 on GPU 2. Thats great! (considering it was 45-50 on each with air cooling!) But when I start playing a game I get GPU at around 45-50 and GPU 2 at around 35-40.

Can any of you explain why I might have such a difference in temps between the two cards?

Ill be sure to download those and give it a test when im feeling a little less hungover.

Interestingly im getting those cold temps in a 800D with just 1 360 rad at the top. I have a 120 rad to add to the case in the week but im waiting for compressions.

Pretty surprised the pc would keep everything nice and cool though on just 1 rad.
