Exactly like that, yes!

Ran the Celerons overclocked, as one did, and supposedly those were superior in thermals vs noise. Not that I had any reference.

Those are actually Thermaltake Golden Orbs, although many companies made similar designs.

As impressive as they look, and as effective as they were at the time, I believe even a modern stock Intel cooler would be more effective; CPUs of the time only had TDPs around 20-30W, in comparison to the 100W+ they are now at.
