Those are Heat sinks that can go on the stepper chips. Derek told me that if the fan is installed on the control box and blowing over the chips that they are not needed.

They go on the little chip things on your stepper driver. Without them you would be replacing electronics often.

Use a bit of thermal paste to attach em to the drivers and away you go. You don't really need them if you do moderate milling times and have the fan mounted over the board. I put em on because I live in S. Texas and it's hells heater down here.
