hm. that's weird. do you have comparison in the same computer (e.g. titan x, 1080 or similar) ? ... i'd expect the cooling to be comparable to titan x, because it's also a 250W TDP card. When my gtx 1080 runs in automode, it also becomes hot quickly and would probably abort. as soon as i force fan speed to 100% (which i always do) it's almost the same as gtx 980 and titan x, sometimes 1-3 degrees hotter than the maxwell based cards. my 1080 also throttles sometimes, but not too hard, decided to wait for newer drivers instead of further investigating ...
