I mean the hard-working card will always be the one which has displays connected to it, right? Well, i'd like to have connectors plugged in to second (lower card) AND at the same time being able to see the BIOS bootstrap sequence.
I can still see everything, when monitor output plugged into first (topmost) card, no questions here. But this way, the topmost card which already lacks a good airflow because of proximity with the second card, will work harder and stay hotter, at the same time when lower card which has access to fresh air wil be underloaded.
In numbers, 1 card = 70*C GPU. 2 cards (SLI), outputs plugged to 1-st = 95*C & 70*C, output plugged to 2-nd = 70*C & 95*C. I prefer to stick with the second choice and additionally install closed-loop water cooling to lower the temps (for the second card only). But I still want to be able to enter BIOS for tweaks, which I can't do for now. And as i see it's just software BIOS problem. Some MB have such option, why this one shouldn't?
regarding "is it wise" - sorrry, my mistake. I was assumpting "it is ..", not asking.
