I've been having a problem with fan speeds and usage of both my graphics card with my GTX 970 setup. I noticed that whenever I tried plugging a display into the card in the 2nd slot nothing was displaying whenever SLI was enabled, but when disabled they both work fine. I want to enable SLI because I play games at 2160p and having both cards would help performance. For example when I played Fallout 4 at max settings with one 970 it played at around 20 FPS but when I used SLI it played at 40+ (at the cost of it using 100% of one card even though I enabled SLI).
I also noticed that whenever playing any game no matter how GPU intense it was the main boosted it's fan speed to 100%, even when playing Rise of Nations. So I was wondering how I can fix this because it seems to be that the computer is using 100% of one card and 0% of the other even though I have both in SLI.
As a side note other than the fact it uses 100% fan speed on one and my program says it's hitting the maximum recommended temperature the graphics card I'm using becomes extremely audible; even louder than what I'm hearing in my headphones. Is there a way to use both of the cards somewhat equally or more effective so that one card isn't doing all the work boosting it's fan speed to an intense speed?
