OK Nigelmcelwee, last time I told you

@nigelmcelwee: It will definitively solve some of your issues but nevertheless, it is not normal that your GPU works 99% all time.
My 570 works at 40% above sea, above ground 70%-90% (all numbers as per GPU-Z) so, if you have 99% all time something is not right...
Now with SLI somewhat working (it is a fix, not an official solution) I start seeing GPU at 99% and temperatures going up to 88°C
I admit I got a bit worried....

SLI fix is at: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23199

(Did not have time to make a long test and see where the temperature stabilised)
EDIT: After some tests, my GPU temperature remains constant 88°C this is good enough and within specs so no worries.
But, if I open the case and the side fan does not push fresh air to the GPUs' fans, temp will jump above 93° immediately!
So streamlining the fresh air inside your case guys, especially if you run SLI or triple-SLI configurations will be something to cautiously watch guys!
