    Might want to try a different driver.

    I am using 66.93, and these seem to be very stable. Might upgrade though to 71.89 and see what affect these have.

    66.93 are broken for temp reading. IIRC the 71.xx drivers are correct.

    The 71.89s and higher are correct.

    Excellent, yes the 71.89 drivers solve my temperature monitoring problems.

    Don't the new 81.something beta drivers solve the problem of slighlty different cards, improved performance too.

    I have a wierd problem at the moment regarding this. I have two Winfast 6800's, when the winfast driver is installed it comes up with the sli problem discussed but runs games pretty well. However when i install the latest nvidia driver it enables sli but runs games poorly, am currently running on winfast one, but would like to be able to have sli enabled and actually work, ie make graphics better

    If you get the 81.** beta drivers, you can run 2 different vendor cards at teh same time, so i assume different bios ' would be the same to..

    I did install the 81.** drivers but as i said in other post it enabled sli but also made graphics dodgy so practically didnt fix the problem.
