Makes sense... so heatsink 2 is actually doing the large majority of the cooling.

There's still much speculation for some reason, and we should know more this close to launch... people are guessing, for example this image from reddit

This shows two pcb-s and two heatsinks (gpu and power delivery) ... it may be right given the position of the power connectors. Foreground heatsink doesn't have to be in two parts though (it may cool gpu with the help of the second fan given the size of power pcb).

I'm guessing W1zzard will make a thorough review comparing disassembling-reassembling time+complexity (sort of like the PCI-e comprasions) for last gen cards and this one :laugh:

So we can know what to expect

Again, cleaning-up this one will be fun, I imagine

Seems to me like they could've had removable fans similar to this if they wanted to ditch fancy framing:
