HIS Readies Radeon HD 4850 Fan
HIS is counted amongst the leading ATI add in board partners. They already have a vast lineup of products based on the Radeon HD 4800. Like every other board partner, HIS sells reference design design cards, as well as, its own IceQ4 series Radeon HD 4850 cards. HIS decided to make a simplistic design, this time around, with the Radeon HD 4850 "Fan", that's what it's called.
The card uses a blue PCB which looks similar to the reference PCB. The card has a circular GPU cooler with aluminum fins projecting radially. The fan at its center lights up blue, during operation. Memory chips can be seen to be cooled passively. Memory amounts to 512 MB. The VRM area gets some cooling however. The card ships with reference ATI speeds of 625/1998 MHz (core/memory). The Radeon HD 4850 Fan should reach stores soon.

Funnily enough, it cools better than the stock 8800GT cooler, so maybe this HIS model will be better as well.
I want/need a HIS Ice cooled 4870 1 gig, with or without Turbo:)
Surprised they went with the reference PCB though - You'd think they could cut costs with a custom design like the aforementioned...
