Video Review by 3DGameman

The World’s Fastest HD4670!

HIS Radeon^TM HD 4670 IceQ Turbo 512MB GDDR3 card is powered by the 4600 GPU with core speed up to 780MHz and memory speed up to 2000MHz. These graphics cards possess the same engine architecture as the award-winning ATI Radeon^TM HD 4800 Series and can propel you deep into your game play with fast frame rates and high resolutions. Enhanced anti-aliasing (4X AA) and anisotropic filtering creates striking graphics with unparalleled realism so you can jack up the settings on the most demanding next-generation games.

Product Advantage

HIS IceQ technology is endorsed as the most efficient cooling technology among the current mainstream graphic cards' series. HIS IceQ can actively draw the air inside your PC case to cool down the card, and blows amounts of hot air out of your case, dramatically decreasing the GPU temperature together with your PC components. HIS IceQ is also UV sensitive, enhancing the gamers' UV light case.

Heat transfers rapidly out of GPU and reduces temperature faster.	Cool down the droom to overclock and run chip faster; provides more headroom to overclock and run faster.	Operates with lower noise level than original cooler.

1. Efficient transfer of heat outside of computer case
   Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan and hot air is forced out of the computer case. This ensures effective cooling when there is another card in front blocking the fan inlet, such as in CrossFire setup
2. Dual-slot cooling design
   Ensure you can conveniently connect the CrossFire cable to run a CrossFire setup.
3. Silent and durable fan
   Significantly reduce noise level and extend service life
4. Isolated heatsinks
   memory and GPU heatsinks are completely separated, preventing any heat transfer from GPU to memory. Memory heatsink is actively cooled by air stream from main cooler.

Faster - Heat transfers rapidly out of GPU and reduces temperature faster

In order to improve the power capacity, we have changed from simple extrusion heatsink to stacked fins with bigger surface area to improve the heat transfer efficiency significantly. Thicker spreader and heatpipes are also used to allow a more even heat distribution among the fins. Spreader is the metal base of the heatsink.

" The cooling effect is much better than the reference cooler, allow you to maximize your overclocking potential. " - PC Market

Cooler - Efficient transfer of heat outside of computer case:

Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan and hot air is forced out of the computer case. This ensures effective cooling when there is another card in front blocking the fan inlet, such as in CrossFire setup. Memory and GPU heatsinks are completely separated, preventing any heat transfer from GPU to memory. Memory heatsink is actively cooled by air stream from main cooler.

Cooling Performance - IceQ vs 3rd Party Cooler

Quieter - Significantly reduce noise level and extend service life

HIS IceQ is also UV sensitive, enhancing the gamers' UV light case

The most effective air cooling solution that ever built

User benefits the IceQ series cooling system that draws air inside the case and exhausts hot air outwards. In contrast to traditional cooling fans, they are recycling the hot air inside the PC case and don't cool the GPU effectively. Seriously thinking of the recent high power consumsion GPU (up to 100W), especially those from the high end graphic card. HIS IceQ series is designed to prevent the fan recycling hot air inside the PC case and cool the GPU dramatically.
