  1. Very nice, shame it looks like a fisher price toy …

  2. Ordering one, my friend has a IceQ card and I agree its basically silent.

    Simple fact is, once it is shoved in a case you never see it again. its not that bad though. its different I like different

  3. wow quite surprised it was that good, my HD6950 hits 88c in furmark 🙁

  4. Whats their UK warranty like. no info on it? do you return it to OCUK or not? they shafted me before with a motherboard and no one helped.

  5. It shows that a small fan isnt necessary bad. they have used massive heatpipes and a huge venting area to ensure it spins slowly. nice idea. shame they dont do a black cooler version. I have a case window mod with lights and this would look hideous in it. (all red lighting in my case)

  6. seems like a very good product indeed

  7. Seems to be the best 6950 around. You didn’t point it out, but the fact that this is also a rear exhaust card makes it pretty amazing.

    And I think some black paint might help it out a bit.
