Today we have an opportunity to look at another HIS video card...or two. This time they have given us a chance to review their newest version of the HD 7850, the HIS IceQ Turbo.

Hell of a cooler but not quiet! Below 28 db? Thats not much better than much of the more powerful cards. The true use of such coolers on weaker cards is to bring down that noise. Means i would like to see 15 db or something like that, so it would be barely audible.
 
28db is barely audible... that is like a whisper if I remember right. That cooler does get loud when its cranked though, sure moves a lot of air.
