Guesing they are Zalmann heatsinks (or similar) available from
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Other_CPU_and_System
_Coolers_18.html I've seen a few reviews saying ok for normal ststems, but
not as good as a normal heatsink so best avoided for overclocking. They look
pretty cool, but you do need space for em, I'd look for reviews beffore you
swap.
