Is it normal (question about crossfire and monitoring programs)...

[IllogicalGlory]

...For monitoring programs (specifially this one:http://www.gputemp.com/, GPU Temp) to display 0 degrees C and 0% usage for one card when it is being used in crossfire?

Both cards appear on the list, but it only displays one as being in use. Is this normal?

Also: when I use them both for bitcoin mining, it displays both as having a load and temperature, while it usually does not.

I am not really familiar with gpu temp, but as a crossfire user that uses MSI Afterburner, Ι have noticed that if I want to properly monitor the second card, I must close msi afterburner, then put some load on both cards and then start it. Maybe it works the same for gpu temp.

That is because ulps kicks in and the second card is such a state that monitor programs cannot access it. It is beyond be why this happens though. I'd expect some sort of trigger to be available for programmers in order to "wake" the second card so to speak.

It doesn't detect it due to Zerocore. The card is turned off and the monitoring program only scans for cards at the beginning when its launched.
