Long story short they cheaped out on the thermal pads and are now releasing a bios update for the cards to increase fan speeds to protect your VRMS/VRAM. They're also offering to ship out free thermal pad if you want to do it yourself or offering to let you ship in the card and they'll send you a replacement.
Not too sure if they have any distributors in Australia though or if you need to ship to the US.

Cheers

      Added the link, and yeah that's normal but. It'll turn on when it starts heating up when you put load on it. Hoping that this doesn't take a month to ship the thermal pads as I don't really want to update the bios and just up the fan speeds/noise.
