For our first AIB partner RTX 2060 review we look at the Palit GamingPro OC edition. This is a more affordable line of products, but see that OC in the naming? Yeah, this puppy is already tweaked for you in the 1800 Mhz Boost range, making this a very attractive offer in the RTX lineup.

I have seen his video. Impressive number of screws...
Glue, yeah a bit. But I think it would not be problem. Because card has to be assembled somehow easily. And therefore same should apply to disassembly in reverse.
Unless they used special low profile screwing tools. Then card would be impossible to disassemble for regular guy.
The audience this entry is aimed at isn't disassembling. That's just homeboy at GN trying to find a negative to harp on with this card.

Watching his teardown again.... Holy $hit he looks like a monkey fornicating a coconut. Had he just removed the 4 heat spreader screws first and separated the heatsink and fan assembly from the PCB and base-plate assembly first it would have been much easier to work with. It really looks more and more like he is trying to make it look harder than it is.
I generally like his content but this really seems like he was looking for something. Which is funny because he could have gone after the prices of these cards to be honest. I mean they are a bit on the high side.

In a way, yes. He gives such impression
Here I wonder about that glued Ribbon Cable. If it has plug for fans, then you are absolutely right and it should have been easy. But if that cable is inseparable from "fan assembly"...

There should have been enough slack in that cable to not have to use that ratcheting right angle screw driver. I totally think he was drumming up dramatic flare with that.
Then the "glue" looked like it was pealing off fairly easy so he stopped as to not ruin his point he was trying to make.
Gotta get that video to 15 minuets to maximize add revenue.

Generally speaking I'd agree but I would be more secure in that assumption if this wasn't priced as an enthusiast card.
I suppose it's in line with the kind of development we've seen in the smartphone space, where even basic self-service like battery replacement is now beyond all but the most determined enthusiasm.
It's probably fair to say I'm a bit hesitant because knowing I can do something as simple as replace the paste a couple of years down the line without messing up too badly is a source of comfort for me personally.
I'll grant you it's not going to figure prominently in most people's purchase decisions but if I were personally putting down $350 for a new GPU I'd probably shop around for one easier to service, seems to be no shortage of alternatives so far at least!
