Introduction

After reviewing the HIS 7770 iCooler 1GB, we have been interested into looking at the same card from HIS, but in the shape of their famous IceQ X version for the GPU. So here today we compare the two. We look forward to reviewing  HIS HD 7770 IceQ X Turbo 1GB GHz Edition. In this review, you can understand how the cards are almost exactly the same, so what we are primarily looking at is the temperature reduction this model poses over the iCooler version. Also we will be looking to see if the fps can be increased by a higher overclock from hopefully lower temps. So let’s take a look and see...

Features

  • Turbo 

HIS Classfied OC Card
Turbo cards are faster than regular cards! The card is bios-overclocked out of the box with 1100 MHz/ 4800 MHz core clock and memory clock respectively, offering the performance edge for gamers!

 

  • IceQ X Turbo

The super large 8.6cm axial fan draws massive amount of cool air from to cool the GPU directly. The fan is extremely durable with a life span of 50,000 hours. 2x 6mm wide copper heatpipes optimize cooling performance by removing heat from the core area. 

The extra large 91.5 x 56 mm copper heat base provides a large 186 x 78mm area to dissipate heat efficiently.
