This may be an annoyance to users who leave their system on overnight – the problem can be fixed by increasing the fan speed to 100% though, while still remaining seemingly inaudible.Īs we saw with HighTech’s Excalibur X800 Pro IceQ II VIVO Edition, there is a very similar collection of software included. The one slight drawback with the cooling solution was the fact that at the default speed of 67%, the LEDs would appear to flicker, mainly due to the slow speed that the fan is spinning at. The fan is silent, even when we adjusted the fan speed to 100% – at least, we could not hear the fan above the sound created by the rest of our test system.
The fan is a variable speed fan that can be controlled via Rivatuner, and of course HighTech’s own iTurbo software. It is an aluminium cooler which works very well, due to the fact that the hot air from the GPU is exhausted through the back of the case. The cooling solution is based around Arctic Silencer revision 3, and features blue LEDs that illuminate the bottom portion of your case when the system is turned on. The card features the highly acclaimed IceQ cooling technology that, until recently, was an exclusive to HighTech video cards. Basically, this bit of software allows the video card to be overclocked beyond ATI’s default clock speeds without invalidating the warranty. There is a technology that has been around in HighTech’s product range for a while, but we have not really touched on it until now – it is known as iTurbo technology. However, that is not the only thing that makes this product stand out.
This card is no different with its flamboyant cooling solution. They are a company who does their utmost to add some additional spice to ATI’s already rather spicy video card range. Here at, we have reviewed a fair few of HighTech’s video cards in the past and, generally, we have been very impressed with both the quality of the product and the extras that are included with the card.
