They have a tiny and crappy thermal pad under that hs. I took it off and put on thermal paste, the hs got much warmer. So much so that I moved it to the southbridge, and put this on.

But I had to remove the mobo from the case to get the hs off. As the pins are plastic you could just pull them out, but they'd probably be un-reusable, and need to be replaced.
