The IceQ-II cooling system uses the air inside your PC case and exhausts warm air outside the case. If you get a reference design x800 with stock cooling then you better be sure that your PC is cooled sufficiently as all that heat will warm up the ambient temperature of your PC's inside and cascade the effect by warming up other components. The IceQ technology helps prevent this. According to HiS, IceQ-II cooling will bring you a 11 °C lower temperature compared to the reference cooling solution. When measuring the temperature at the back of the card on the GPU spot indeed remained at 50-55 Degrees C at 100% GPU utilization, which indeed is very good for this card.
