Why do they even bother to add GeForce RTX branding on the shroud if these are unofficial mods? Attention to details, or Nvidia involvement?

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.
