WD Black 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Overheating

Recently bought the WD Black 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe, once as I installed the drive and installed the WD SDD Dashboard Monitor, I was prompted to update the firmware since doing so, my drive idles at 72oC, is this happening to others? Or just a one off and needs to be RMA?
