IceQ 5 Cooling Technology

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.

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
Dual-slot cooling design
Ensure you can conveniently connect the CrossFire cable to run a CrossFire setup.
Silent and durable fan
Significantly reduce noise level and extend service life
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.
