I thought the same thing. I think what he's talking about is a heatsink, though.

I don't think you need that stuff if you have a normal AMD CPU with the pads already on it.

Is that a Mercedes? Are the "four little rubber things" round? If so, they're probably the tires....

If the CPU already has pads on it, you won't have to attach anything. DON'T REMOVE THEM!

BTW, what is an ultima solution?

Oh, and this topic belongs in General Hardware or Cases & Cooling.

Those are there because the base of the heatsink isn't wide enough to reach the rubber pads on an AMD processor.

The base of that HS must be mighty small.

The 2 black sticks are attached to the edge of the fan where it rests on the heatsink to deaden vibration for quieter operation.
