Take the little battery out of your motherboard, wait about 10 seconds, then put it back it. It will reset your BIOS.

Running windows 7 Temps are noticibly higher - at idle and during usage Did everything there and got the exact same result - 135 with SLI disabled, 950MHz with SLI enabled. Is this an nVidia SLI issue? I have no idea what else to try here...

I am using afterburner - not overclocking, just monitoring Unchecked sync cards - no changes Uninstalled everything nVidia - it reset itself to an older driver - 347.52 and the clock was at 135Mhz - SLI disabled. Enabled SLI and it jumped to 950MHz again. Not familiar with CCleaner, and how...

When I was running 1 card it was around 100/200 or something at idle - nowhere near 950MHz

It's set to "Span displays with Surround". I'm running 3 screens - 6040x1080.

I recently added another 970 to my system, and now I've noticed that my core clocks are idling at 950 instead of much lower when I only had one card. Ran into this issue years ago with my 480s, but it only took a driver reinstall to fix that. Now, I've reinstalled the latest driver, clean...

Your best bet is to read the manual that came with the motherboard...

If you haven't already, make sure that you get 3 of the EXACT SAME monitor. If one is different than one of the others, the color and brightness will not match up perfectly, and it will drive you crazy. I have the Gigabyte G1 970. Rarely will I temporarily overclock it.

Don't delete your thumbnails while you're at it...

Yes.

The one in the back should be blowing air out of the case.

I have 1 970 for a triple monitor setup (6040x1080 - bezel corrected), so I know what I'm talking about. Using Star Wars Battlefront, I was getting 60fps on "High" settings. Yes, 1000w is overkill, but you can never have too large of a power supply. Having 1000w would allow you to SLI 2 very...

It's your power supply. Had that same issue myself a few weeks back. Replaced the PSU, and everything worked perfect after.

I'll second that and recommend EVGA as well. I have the 1300G2... no complaints.

It's just a standby light... can't turn it off, it's just there. If it starts to drive you nuts, you can put a small piece of black electrical tape over it.
