Temperature

Here's where the IceQ X Turbo proves its worth. Temperatures across the board are kept incredibly low, and of the 16 cards tested, the HIS IceQ X is the only one to keep temperatures below 60ºC while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The results during the FurMark stress test are equally impressive. We're not quite seeing the 13ºC drop advertised on HIS' packaging, but a 9ºC decrease over a standard HD 6850 is nothing to scoff at.

The card's cooling is excellent, but you know what's even more impressive? It maintains those temperatures while keeping relatively quiet.
