Mmmmmm...well no one is commenting thus far, so i will ! motherboards have already got "heatsinks" where heatsinks are needed! so your probably not going to get any benefits from those things! you could throw some on your RAM chips if you have enough for each chip...that's if they don't already have heat transfer on them! But...not really worth the effort really!

Do you have 7 of them? Only kidding. Unless they are the same size as those lil square things with R80 written on the top.

They're not needed, but they would look cool.

Yo Dawg, I hear you like heat sinks, so put a heat sink on your heat sink so you can cool while you cool
