HIS HD6950 IceQ 2GB Review

The AMD HD6950 offers great value for money but reference designs suffer from a loud cooler. HIS have added their IceQ cooler to rectify this...

I'm still not 100% sold on the cooler. I guess it's because it looks so odd compared to most other coolers on the market. It's growing on me though.

I personally like the cooler, I benched a 3870 which had the same sort of cooler fitted, and it got me the highest score on hwbot.....granted they thought it was a glitches score despite five runs with similar scores.....No hard feelings aye....
Nice review though Webbo very in-depth.
PS. Thanks for your price quote on OC for my kit.

Very nice! I actually don't care what the cooler looks like because I don't have a windowed case, as long as it performs well which it seems to.
