Dragos Manea:
MSI gaming series cards need their own heatsinks for VRM and VRAM, you shouldn't touch them, just leave them as is. The design should be this way.
Examining the original fan, I noticed two heat-pipes on the left (yellow) and five on the right (red). However, the G12 bracket only has one fan for cooling the right side—what about the left? Should I be concerned?

No, those heatpipes does not touch anything, and think for a minute there, the msi fans pushes hot air into the card because in those heatpipes there is heat but on the kraken the heat is transfered by the pump and the fan pushes only cold air into the card vrm and vram. i had this configuration for 1 year on my msi gtx 1080 gaming x and for more then 3 years on my r9 290x crossfire configuration.
