You have the cards setup in SLI plug the monitors into the first card. Then if you are using a program that supports SLI it will use both cards, just make sure to enable SLI in the Nvidia control panel.

The reason I want to the the second card as my main card is because the fans have more access to air, or is that impossible?

As far as i'm aware that's not how it works.

 

Monitors will have to be plugged in to the top card and will always be used as the primary card.
