well the copper part was cut to make little fins... also the other 2 main aluminum heatsinks also have this same copper finned heatsink on the opposite sides of their chips....



also... there is a series of air holes cut out of the casing next to this little heatsink

maybe its a dual purpose heatsink/emi shield



wouldnt it be cool to have a pcp&c engineer in here? he could tell us exactly what is and what isnt safe to be doing to it.... and exactly why some heatsinks are live and some arent.
