GTX 980ti Matrix or Kingpin SLI

Metro

Hello

 

If both were the same price, for air cooling, which could you get Kingpin or Matrix (what would give better temperatures and lower sound when in SLI) Kingpin is 72 percent ASIC

 

My Lightnings are broke and MSI does not have any more Lightnings, so I have to find a replacement

 

Thanks

how can both of your lightnings die at the same time?

I have no clue, 100 percent fan speed all the time, not possible to change, also my monitor DP does not get detected when you turn on the PC (sometimes it does) tried different DP ports as well, still does not work, used a different GPU, my monitor DP gets detected

Seems odd that both cards would die. Have you tried a bios mod to fix the fans?

 

Guys here are really helpful, just extract your current bios using GPU-Z and they will mod for you, maybe worth trying to fix that fan issue.

What temps are your cards running if the fans are 100%?

 

As for the DP issue, have you tried the cards individually (aka 2nd card removed not just SLI disabled)

I dont think that they will ever upgrade to another company. The lightning almost cant be upgraded, so the only solution for them is to get 2 new lightnings or hand you over 2 titanx's or hand you back all your money

I do not want to flash a new BIOS, if I am having to return them (even with dual BIOS) so I need to keep the warranty :)

The retailer is giving me the option :)

 

I was more looking for suggestions between the two GPUs, as I have tried so many different things, thanks for your suggestion though
