how are the heat sinks attached to the unit?

It sits between two heatsinks like the filling inside an oreo cookie. Thermal paste must be used to provide a good thermal bond, and it's up to you to figure out how to hold the heatsinks to it.

I did not have to remove the motherboard, But I have seen on some motherboards you do because the bottom plate falls off when you unscrew the old heat sink. But in my case no.

The system one you can can just tape to your power supply or hard drive/SSD. The graphics sensor and CPU sensor can usually fit in the fins of the heatsink. The sensor wires can bend so I usually put the end of the lead into the middle of the heatsink, under the fan, then tape it in place (they give you heat resistant tape strips). Do not be tempted to put it between the GPU/CPU and the heatsink. While you would get a more accurate reading, the gap that it would create would kill the effectiveness of the heatsink. Run a temp sensing program and you will see you are usually a few degrees off from the actual temperature but it is still great for easy monitoring. Just remember you are always going to be showing a few degrees cooler than actual temps. Also, the display says System/HDD/CPU but I use them for HDD/CPU/GPU as I would rather monitor my GPU temp than both HDD and System temp.

This unit comes with a power cord.In the picture.The bottom left next to the heat sink is where the cord plugs in.

Yes, the heating coil is attached, just remove the two quick connect electrical terminals, then unbolt, reverse procedure to install.

Everything in the picture is a part of the unit. The small part in the right back of the picture is permanently attached and where you set the temperature, etc.

The housing is grounded from the electrical system. the ground then is the metal housing, which the fan base is screwed to which bonds all current caring parts.

These heatsinks actually came with pressure sensitive adhesive thermal pads. just remove paper and press on

Yes, the heat sink already attached to the processor which is installed on the motherboard. The only things you are required to purchase are a hard drive, ram and I would optionally purchase an inline slot fan card. I find that it makes thing run smoother.

yup, back plate really easy to mount. the heatsink screws into the backplate

The ones that stick out are mounts for your heat shield. The other 2 that don't stick out are for your O2 sensors.

This cooler also mounts with screws, but you will need to remove the mount for your current heatsink and put the mount for this in it's place. Also make sure your case has room to fit the heatsink

It can definitely be screwed into stock heatsink and case mounting. As to the question does iit include the two adapters you can attach via screws to "snap" it into place on some heatsinks? I can't completely remember, but I'm pretty sure it does. Double check if you don't have one laying around on an old heatsink you could swap in case. It's been a while since I unboxed it.

It comes with the fans. Depending on your CPU heatsink fan you may want to remove the case fan that sits diagonally under it as it makes for a tight fit.

The heat sink that it comes with has a thermal patch pre-applied to it. If you plan to use another heat sink you will need to supply the thermal paste if your heat sink does not come with it.

Yes it did, it was a nice heat sink with copper pipes sticking out of the side, the only thing I did not like was that my system board made the fan run fast at times and slow at others, the slow part was fine, but when it ran fast it was very noisy; so I put a liquid cooler on mine and solved all of my problems. But all in all the heat sink and fan that come with it, will work well.

The thermal paste is pre-applied to the included heat sink and fan. If you are going to use a different cooling solution, you may need your own paste.
