		12/2006 Bona Fide Reviews: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 For their IceQ cooler HIS turned to the guys at Arctic Cooling for a solution as shown by the sticker found o­n the bottom of the fan. HIS' products have always stood out from other third party manufacturers because of their solid coolers.
		11/2006 Legion Hardware: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 Should you feel the need to upgrade the X1650XT cooler to something like the Arctic-Cooler VGA Silencer, then “yes” this HIS X1650XT graphics card is a good buy. Obviously the advantages to using the Arctic-Cooler VGA Silencer are better cooling performance and quieter operating volumes.
		11/2006 Hot Hardware: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 To keep the GPU temperatures in check, the HIS X1650 Pro comes with o­n of HIS' IceQ coolers. The IceQ cooler is an all aluminum design with an extremely quiet fan solution. The cooler is ported directly to outside air for maximum cooling, and it's also quieter than the stock reference cooler.
		10/2006 Bona Fide Reviews: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 For their IceQ cooler HIS turned to the guys at Arctic Cooling for a solution as shown by the sticker found o­n the bottom of the fan. HIS' products have always stood out from other third party manufacturers because of their solid coolers. Overall, with the nice IceQ cooler, the X1650 Pro is a solid video card
		10/2006 XYZ Computing: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 HIS has given this model a silent design that offers considerable cooling. This means a large fan, aluminum heatsink, memory coolers
		10/2006 Guru of 3D Please invest that extra tenner as the cooler is working really well whilst also being silent, and in today's PCs that is just awesome.
		09/2006 VIPERLAIR: VGA Silencer, Rev.3 Cooling was well taken care of with that cooler as well as the ramsinks. This allowed the card to keep cooler than many other cards I've looked at, while still keeping very quiet in overclocked operation. Overclocking wasn't anything to write home about but there was a increase that we were able to find out of this card.
		05/2005 SLO-MOD: VGA Silencer Rev.3 Considering price/performance ratio, arctic-cooling VGA Silencer sure beats the hell out of all present aftermarket graphic card coolers. Cooling effect is great and the price is even greater. Not to mention that even when o­n max RPM, it is still much more silent than other fans in your system. I surely recommend this cooler too anyone with a loud and performance poor stock cooler (such as those o­n Radeon Se series). Plus, the card will be more overclock-able due to lower temperature of the core. Go for it!
