The second card is probably not being used as much as card 1, so it may be pulling lower clocks. Check your GPU activity/load % in Afterburner and keep an eye on the speeds. I have my GPU stats set up to display on my Logitech G15 keyboard, which is nice. I can see loads & temps while benching or gaming across all three monitors.
to your build, looks very sweet! You gotta love the 7970cfx! Very awesome!

How are the temps on the bottom card since you have the two in serial? I usually set up my dual cards in parallel...
Yeah thats most likely it, I don't think parallel will provide much if any better cooling, it might be marginal, but I'm not too worried. Even looking at the screen I put up, it shows max temp for each card and the 2nd cards max temp is 7C lower than Card 1, so under load it must just run a lot cooler since it doesn't push as much of the load.

You guys have got me thinking now about running my cards in parallel....I have my 7970s in serial currently. As it is, card 2 usually is about 1-2*C warmer than card 1, I figured just because it's second, but maybe it's worth it to try a parallel config.
One more thing, I really like the painting of the interior of the case Kurgan. My 932 is not painted. I've wanted to paint it but it looks like a lot of work. I haven't really tried taking the case apart but it didn't look easy. Now I have lots to think about, thanks
