Freedom Force and Nvidia 275?

Has anyone tried it yet? Reason I ask, I have just installed mine, with a bit of faffing around to say the least. It says it is compatible but they only provide 9 ramsinks. So I've ordered some more, but will these be sufficient on the other chips? I noticed the stock hsf covers all the areas in question. The FF doesn't!

Well ive put one on my shiny new 4890 and its so much quieter and went on as easy as anything. Temps are between 15 - 20c cooler as well.

There's no denying temps are great - I've plugged mine directly into the psu so at the moment I have no fan control as such, but temps are at least 20 degrees cooler under load. It's not quieter for me but the fan makes a different noise which I can live with for now, until I get some fan control anyway.

What did you do about the power voltage regulation on yours? Just used the ramsinks?

Yeah just got some spare zalman ram heatsinks and stuck them on the vrms

Looks like I will wait for my Akasa sinks to show up. I've got some others here, but they are just too big, making it difficult to fit the cooler properly.
