Hong Kong, Friday, Mar 31, 2006 – HIS (Hightech Information System Limited) delivers the HIS X1900XTX/XT IceQ 3 2x Dual Link DVI + VIVO card, equips with the latest IceQ 3 cooling solution by using the fastest consumer 3D graphics processor on the planet.

Faster: Heat transfers rapidly out of GPU and reduces temperature faster.

Cooler: IceQ 3 cools down the core temperature dramatically, at least 11°C lower than original cooler.

Quieter: IceQ 3 operates with lower noise level as 20dB.

All Cool: Sensitive to Ultra violate light with special UV effect.

HIS IceQ 3 – the best air cooling solution

HIS IceQ 3 is the 3^rd generation of IceQ cooling technology which is endorsed by worldwide media. HIS IceQ 3 innovative design doubles the strength to its predecessor.

1.          Innovative design: Significantly improve cooling performance and lower weight.

2.          Heatpipe with sintered powder wicks: Heat is rapidly transferred from the core area reducing the GPU temperature.

3.          Isolated heatsinks: Memory and GPU heatsinks are completely separated, preventing any heat transfer from GPU to memory.

4.          Bi-directional air in-take channels: Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan. Improving air flow. This ensures effective cooling even for CrossFire platform.

5.          Ultra silent and durable fan: Significantly reduced noise level and extended service lift.

6.          Larger heatsink surface area: Ensure maximum heat dissipation.

7.          Dual-slot cooling design: Directly exhausts hot air out of PC case.
