    It's a heatsink, which cools the chip it's attached to.

    It's the northbridge chipset heatsink.
    This is needed to cool the chipset beneath it as it gets quite hot.
    Many either replace them and install a better one - depends on how good a job it's doing or you can add a fan to it, which will add to noise factor.
