Why do they even bother to add GeForce RTX branding on the shroud if these are unofficial mods? Attention to details, or Nvidia involvement?
Probably existing designs from factories that produced legitimate blower 4090 coolers before the ban.
They sell them within China and want them to look like the real deal
Are you stupid? You sure think everyone else is.
These are AI solutions, how stupid can you be if you'd think they are genuine cards? IN CHINA, where it's banned.
My my, aren't you a pleasant fellow.

Dotjzzz is a massive prick, how stupid can you be if you'd think they are a pleasant fellow ? IN /R/HARDWARE, where they’ll soon be banned.
Why would they bother to REMOVE GeForce branding? They are designed and manufactured with it.
They are
"removing the cooling systems and extracting the AD102 GPU and GDDR6X memory from the main PCBs. These components are then re-soldered onto a domestically manufactured "reference" PCB, better suited for AI applications, "
Not just remoiving branding.
New PCB but reusing existing cooler from original GPU? It looks like the Chinese are making the PCB smaller and moving the power connector to the side and using the standard 8 pin PCIe rather than 12vhpwr which is thick, can start fire if it's the older version, and be an issue with clearance on top of the GPU.
