yes , you can mode both cards
i would say you have better chance to kill your cards if you using those cards for mining without any modification ( bios mod , mem/gpu undervolting , gpu underclocking ..)
!!proper!! bios mod or any fine tuning with software actually can give a longer life cycle for your cards , cards can run much cooler , fan running much slower , cards producing higher hashrate ...
running those cards for mining with stock setup ... shortening those cards life time ...
