The HIS IceQ 3 does a great job imo on the X1900's. I think they made it fit on a X1800GTO too. | Those heatsinks that HIS uses are made by Arctic Cooling. I'm willing to bet that the Accelero either outperforms or matches the performance of the IceQ 3.
I'm thinking ATI has something like the 7900GTX cooler in the works. | I could have sworn that HIS said the sinks wern't made by aritc cooling, and instead they had soem 3rd party rip them off....Also, the HIS cooler out performs the stock x1900 cooler at 100%, the Accelero at 100% doesnt come close the stock and and HIS cooler at 100% | The older HIS coolers were exactly like the original Arctic Cooling VGA silencers. But their new IceQ3 coolers are different, they are copper and have heatpipe(s). They actually look very impressive and seem like they would do a good job. |
