HIS Radeon R9-290X Hybrid ICEQ review

In this review we will benchmark and test HIS Radeon R9-290X Hybrid ICEQ edition. The card uses liquid cooling for the GPU that runs towards a 120mm radiator. On the card itself there still is a small fan that blows air over the VRM area and other components. As a result this card will remain under 80 Degrees C at full load, and does so whilst being factory clocked to a nice 1100 MHz. Under SKU code H290XQH4GD the product will be released with 4 GB of graphics memory.

Stunning card, however, as others have said, what's with the funky looking cooler?

I would still point out, that according to AMD's CodeXL, Hawaii (and Bonaire) are Sea Islands, not Volcanic Islands, and that first Volcanic Islands GPU's are Tonga (already out in FirePro-form) and Iceland

Thanks for the review Hilbert
I don't know, somehow I'm not that impressed with that cooler design. Yes, 80°C might be acceptable, yet again it doesn't look like an overly quiet card, nor a exceptionally cool one... and you need some place to put the radiator too, so it is "costly" in space inside the chassis, and maybe needs an additional opening, thus probably making your whole system louder again. Not really something I'd get, but that's just my opinion. At least the vrm stay cool, and the memory overclock seems to be nice too.
Also, just a little hint: the overclocking section seems to still show some ASUS references from the last card you reviewed
