HIS Ready with HD 4830 IceQ-4
Almost a month into the launch of the ATI Radeon HD 4830, HIS is ready with its IceQ-4 model. The graphics card uses the Radeon HD 4830 at reference speeds of 575 MHz, and features 512 MB of GDDR3 memory running at 1800 MHz. The card uses the same exact PCB and cooler design, as that of the Radeon HD 4850 IceQ-4, since the GPU is pin-compatible, but the heatsink over the VRM area is lacking.
As with other ATI graphics cards in its cadre, it provides audio-routed HDMI via a dongle, ATI CrossfireX multi-GPU technology, and DirectX 10.1 support. The card is expected to hit stores soon, carrying a price-tag of €140 in Europe.

I have pulled 702/1051 on my 4850 with the stock cooler with no bios mods for a P8035 on a 3.2 clocked quad.
It's still a great entry level gaming card, but its far from a godsend.
Although I can't say I have owned a IceQ card before, so I don't know first hand how good that cooler is, everyone praises it though.
If it would've been a lot more energy efficient or a lot cheaper ok. But it's just a little cheaper and a little less peforming then 4850... I dont really think saving 20 euro is enough to go for the 4830 period. And those people who want to save money wont go for the ICEQ 4 but for a different brand 4850 which costs even less then this 4830..
