Lovely Wolver-ampton!
Hmm... The pack comes with a voltage regulator heat spreader. However... The OcUK x1950 pro is not a reference design, and the heat spreader doesnt fit, or appear to go anywhere.

Do I need to install the voltage reg heat spreader? Or can I get away with just the heat sinks and cooling part?
 
Google says lots of people have installed the cooler without the other heat spreaders, just the ram sinks.

So have I now. Seems to work ok.... and peace!!!
 
With my regulator, the one end of the heatspreader overhangs the PCB, so i put a screw through it with a washer on and half the screw head actually rests against the PCB so secures it in place.
 
My board is a completely diff design so I couldnt even put the sread half on.

So, I have the large flat spreader and the long heatsink, not installed. Temps seem fine and I've been running a little tool that uses the GPU so I can monitor temps. Been on for an hour while I had some breakfast and the GPU's not even hit 37c!

Superb bit of kit.
