It’s poopI was just going to type what I am saying here and GN said the same in his video.
This insane assembly with all the screws, brackets, glue etc. added $100 to the price of the card.
Also, No wonder they wanted no teardown, check at 12 mins in, the actual fins on the cooler is small enough to fit on a single slot card, on a $1000+ gpu, the amount of metal to absorb heat is extremely low.
