HIS R6970 ICeQ Turbo

Make note of two CrossfireX connectors, this card can be set up in 2/3/4-way multi-GPU mode, though 4-way. A clean PCB design following reference standards. Nothing out of the usual is found, missing is a second BIOS, which the reference board do have.

A closer look at the cooling design. It follows the traditional HIS ICEQ cooler design, but I'm really not sure anno 2011 if people still really dig it.

Located at the top side of the card we spot power connectors. The R6970 will actually require one 6 and one 8-pin PCIe PEG power connector. A bit hard to see, but as the VRM zone is cooled by little heatsinks, we definitely can appreciate that.

Last photo before we jump into initial GPU heat, TDP and cooling tests. Here you can observe the heatpipe design, two 6 and two 8mm pipes are used. In theory that should be very sufficient, the radiating fins coverage surface area is not rather big or huge though.

HIS Radeon HD 7950 HIS IceQ X2 review
We test and review the a HIS Radeon HD 7950 HIS IceQ X, this 30 CM sized beast is one heck of a graphics card. Custom PCB, custom cooling, it's low noise and being a Boost edition card series, it clocks in at 950 MHz.

HIS Radeon HD 7850 4GB iPower IceQ Turbo review
We test and review the a HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo as single card and in Crossfire today. The HIS Radeon HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo is a factory overclocked 4GB version of the Radeon HD 7850 graphics card.

HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo edition. With this card they took the new Tahiti XT2 and redesigned the R7970 board from ground up. though very long the end result is a 31cm PCB with mane power phases and optimizations. Fun to see are the voltage and FAN monitor LED options. Most impressive however is the sheer amount of monitor connectors HIS injected into this product, four DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI and a DVI connector. If needed you can go for Eyefinity6. Oh did I mention already that the factory set boost clock frequency is 1180 Mhz ?

HIS Radeon HD 7950 ICEQ Turbo review
We review the HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQX Turbo. The product comes factory overclocked very nicely for you as it is running a gentle 900 MHz clock frequency. HIS uses a custom PCB and dual-slot cooler making the card very easy to install. Despite that factory overclock and that cooler the noise levels remain at very low levels whereas the GPU temperatures remain downright excellent as we'll show you in this review.
