Trying hard to like it

Pros: About on par with the GTX 580 in most games yet cheaper. EVGA Customer Service is EXCELLENT. Fast and very stable with a modest overclock (About 750mhz on core and 1800 on shaders). Very quiet when fans are at 40%.
Cons: -Getting SLI has been a HUGE pain in the *** for me. I am running it on a ASUS Maximus IV Extreme motherboard and frequently, SLI will be randomly disabled and the second GPU will not be detected by the computer in Device Manager. This is currently my 1st RMA card from EVGA but I still encounter the SLI problem. Tried using HyperSLI (even though my mobo supports 3x SLI...) but to no avail. -This card can get very very hot. Temperatures at idle are around high 30's to low 40's. Very dependent on the ambient temperature. The computer is currently located in a large room yet it still manages to heat up the air by about 10 degrees. Temperatures can GET VERY HOT. Highest i've seen were about ~95 C. - Also has a problem detecting my monitor. Takes about a couple of reboots to correct it.
Overall Review: I really really wish I could like it but with these problems, I basically have a single GTX 460 with the 480's heating problems about 60% of the time. EVGA's customer service were very fast in issuing me a new RMA however I am disappointed in the reliability of the actual card.
