HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceqX TurboX review

Connectivity wise for monitor outputs we see a four-fold of connectors supporting all high-resolution monitors. We get two display port connectors (mini), HDMI (1.4) and one dual-link DVI connector. We see this configuration on pretty much all the Radeon HD 7800 series graphics cards.
The cooler we find to be quite good. Though the looks are a little iffy, it however is reasonably noise wise and keeps the temperature well under control as our tests later on will show you.
The board's overall power consumption from idle to load is higher than reference, but that's due to the pretty extensive factory overclock towards 1 GHz (which needs a bit more voltage). Expect an idle wattage of roughly 10 Watts and, when the monitor goes into power save mode, the card throttles down even lower to 3 Watts. We measured the TDP for the 7850 at roughly 150 Watts for the card tested today.
The 7850 utilizes one 6-pin power connector, a 500~550W PSU would be sufficient. Interestingly enough the PCB shows the pins for another 6-pin connector yet it isn't installed.
And for those at wonder, this is what the PCB looks like once we remove the heatsink, here you can also see the extra 6-pins for another connector.
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.
