Some of the low end boards dont have fans. Some makers design it so its supposed to be adequately cooled with a heatsink.

Looked to me like it was just a heatsink. I'm thinking maybe it's a power connector to run a CPU fan maybe?????

Yes, many card manufacturers use the nVidia reference PCB designs, which include such features even if a manufacture doesn't make use of them. Likewise on cheaper cards you may find spots where they manufacturer decided to save a few dimes by leaving some capacitors off the board, or a spot where a TV encoder could've been.
