No, but take a look at the shape of the heatsinks Bubba, they are designed for the stock AMD heatsink which would blow air over them. With the badges on they impede straight down air flow across the heatsink, as well as trap hot air under them.
However as I've stated I am live in a desert with extremely high ambient temps due to the lack of A/C I run the system with massive undervolts across the whole system.
However, it is stupid easy to remove the badges, as they are just sticky taped on.

The P4 is out in the workshop as my jukebox. Was toying with making an open test bench type of case/holder for it today and screw the sucker to the wall to free up some bench space.
I would imagine you'll see these in supercomputers and high end servers running unix or linux.
