Having had tri and quad sli every gen since 8800s. No and no and no. Buy 2 980s second hand for less. 
 
 
UNLESS all you play is Valley, Heaven, Firestrike, Crysis 3, and Tomb Raider.

Those benchmark programs put alot of stress on the videocards. Sometimes it can make them break, literally. It's not guaranteed, but it can happen.
Wouldnt shadows of mordor, of lords of the fallen be a better benchmark than tomb raider? Tomb raider, after all, doesn't take much to get solid FPS.

I'm coming to the realization that EVGA will RMA just about anything.

I was able to get the gpu's to run at 97 percent in bf4 max at 200 scaling and it ran great fps from 90 to 120 temps max at 67.

And this is on all cards? so what the H*** is everyone talking about that the top card runs at 90 degrees. i dont get it.
 
So bottom line if you have good heat disipation and airflow, you won't have a huge issue. Am i correct?

this is the hottest it got at 200 scaling  after a hour most of the time they all stayed at 97 percent
