They are "Limited Edition" not special.

Nice change from the usual Blue heat spreader

Didn't Kingston release a black version of their RAM cooler not too long ago? I have a feeling they're headed in that direction with their RAM heatspreaders too, so this kit is, as Wile E said it, meh.

Oh & green PCB FTL.
