HIS Announces the Radeon RX 480 IceQ X² Roaring
HIS announced its flagship Radeon RX 480 graphics card, the RX 480 IceQ X² Roaring 8 GB OC. Based on a slightly modified variant of its dual-fan IceQ X² cooling solution in use for the past few generations of its graphics cards; the card features a custom-design PCB. The cooler features a dense aluminium fin-stack heatsink, to which heat drawn from the GPU is conveyed by four 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes.
The heatsink is ventilated by a pair of 90 mm fans. These fans stay off when the GPU is idling. The metal cooler shroud features a die-cast ornament shaped like a roaring lion, an LED-lit HIS logo along the top, and a back-plate that covers the length of the PCB. The PCB itself features a 6-phase VRM that draws power from an 8-pin PCIe power connector, to support factory-overclocked speeds of 1120 MHz core, 1288 MHz boost, and an untouched 8 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory.

I knew if anyone would do this, it would be HIS. Fantastic!!! I have been holding off upgrading my dual HIS HD7950 specifically for this. To bad the shrouds don't look like the previous trend; Me thinks they be butt ugly!
