Yeah they will improve this on the next hardware revision.Every generation has some problems at start.No worries as long as its not as severe as RROD was.
EVGA got into trouble a few years ago for something similar where the VRM's went super nova, and they shipped out thermal pads for free to those users who bought to those cards. Changing that step during manufacture shouldn't really need a revision (i think as recent as the Ampere cards there is evidence of last minute slapped on thermal pads for hot spots).
