All heatsinks/fans are what came in the retail box. Aluminum heatsink with
a blue fan which works pretty good. The one machine that's the exception
has a copper heatsink which is MUCH larger than the retail heatsink. I
can't remember the name of it. I have lm_sensors on all machines and
honestly, there is only a 1-3 degree difference under full load between
the two. Oh, the *special* copper heatsink, if I remember correctly was
$35.

I can take some pictures tomorrow and send them to you so you can see the
difference.
