There is no reason that there isn't some sort of hardware over current protection like we saw kick in on 4870, etc with OCCT.
Time will tell, no use crying the sky is falling on day one, is it something to be concerned for, sure, is it a definitive wide spread product issue, too early to really say.

I mean I can't quantify how many burnt vrm's are out there from a handfull of online folks in the hundreds of thousands of units that are actually put into the market. If these issue where so widespread even on other products there wouldn't be any vendors that could afford to sell the product nor could nvidia cover excessive claims.

Is Nvidia being cheap on the vrm, I don't know, are people being too aggressive with what they expect, I don't know.

What I am fairly sure of is if there is an issue now that will potentially lead to excessive warranty claims it will be rectified in short order whether it is bios, driver, or hardware implemented.
