Somewhat off topic, but if you look at the lower-left hand corner of the heatsink in the first image, there's two red lines and some sort of image artifact.

They probably didn't mean to use this version of the image for their blog - but I wonder what they were trying to indicate/measure there.

It kind of looks like the original image had a cutaway section there and they didn't want that to be seen so pasted a top surface back on.

Did the image change? I can't seem to find what you're describing.

It's still there: the red lines outline the lower left hand corner of the heatsink (the big metallic structure).

Got it. That looks like a bad digital image stitching job. Especially the misaligned fins. But the red lines are odd indeed.
