I agree it's a smaller die and it is more difficult to get the heat out. You also need to consider it's 70W/~25% less to cool. That doesn't outweigh the fact that you are squeezing 7.2B transistors (though less than a 980ti) on a 314mm die(a bit more than half the size of 980ti). That density is what is doing it as you are saying.
Simple solution is to raise the power limit. Reference blower coolers were never good enough really. The aftermarket coolers will solve the problem if you don't want to make those minor tweaks.
