Normally it's meant to be cooled by the CPU fan. Some manufacturers include a smal clip-on fan for those cases where the CPU is cooled either passively or by water, in which case the heatsinks wouldn't get air. For this kind of heatpipe cooling you definitely need a good CPU cooler and it has to be of the kind that has the fan mounted on top and blowing towards the motherboard. I've made good experiences with the Thermalright XP 120 and SI 128 together with a quiet 120 mm fan like Pabst or similiar.
