IceQ cooling technology
The IceQ cooling system draws cool air from inside the case and exhausts warm air outwards. This prevents the fan from recycling warm air to cool the VPU, which increases cooling performance and lower the air temperature inside the case significantly.

Review By xyzcomputing

Looking at the X1300 XT it becomes clear just how closely this is related to the X1600 cards. All of the IceQ modesl feature the same cooling: a large fan with an aluminum heatsink and small memory coolers. This card is no different and it also uses the same red PCB that HIS has adopted across the IceQ lineup. The one noticeable difference between the X1300 and some older models is that it uses dual DVI output, which reflects the huge increase in the number of digital monitors being used today.

Review By Viperlair

ATi has just released their fall refresh of video cards in the form of the x1950XT, the x1650 Pro, and the x1300XT. The only card here that can be considered ‘newer’ is the x1950, as ATi has started to use GDDR4 memory on this card. The x1650 Pro is basically the x1600XT and the x1300XT is the x1600.

HIS has been known as a partner for ATi cards for quite a while. In fact we here at Viperlair have reviewed quite a few of their cards, from the lower end to the high end cards. One thing that comes into your mind when you mention an HIS card is the quite and efficient coolers that they put on their video cards.

Review By Hothardware

ATI’s reference design specs the X1650 Pro’s GPU speed at 600MHz, a full 100MHz faster than the X1600 Pro which runs at 500MHz. However, HIS took things a step further, and raised the GPU clock an additional 25MHz, to a default speed of 625MHz. We should note, however, that when the card was installed in our test system, we did find the clock speeds to be slightly lower than advertised. In actuality, the GPU runs at 621MHz while the GDDR3 memory was clocked at 688.5MHz (1.37GHz DDR).

Review By Legionhardware

This is due to the Radeon X700XT featuring higher memory and core clock frequencies. The card will feature a 475MHz core and a 1.05GHz DDR memory frequency. This is opposed to the Radeon X700 Pro which features a core clock of just 425MHz and a memory clock of 864MHz. However, the Radeon X700XT has been difficult to track down and therefore consumers have been turning to the far more popular Radeon X700 Pro.
