Take a picture of it and put it on your pc or usb flash. Then click on upload a file button to the right of post reply button and attach picture. Sounds like a heatsink though.

You will need to wipe off the goo on the bottom with rubbing alcohol then put new thermal paste on just a dab the size of a pea in the middle watch a YouTube video about applying and removing thermal paste

I already said dat foo
You suggested he watch a video on how to remove and apply thermal paste, I was suggesting he also watch a video on how to install the heat sink properly seeing as how he didn't know what it was I don't want him to install it incorrectly and damage anything. Even though I doubt OP has been back here to check it will hopefully help someone else down the road. Just as no one tries this:
