    When I use Dox 180.70 it increases my gpu temp to 78 degrees idle with SLI on and 70 with SLI off. Anyone with forceware which increased their idle temp too?If yes what version is that and is it Dox or Official? I just want me and everyone get the best forceware.

    It probably means that its not downclocking properly to 2d-speeds. You can force this using RivaTuner (Just make an idle profile with the clocks turned all the way down and use that whenever you're not gaming)
