ATI has the dustbuster, but quiet version

Oh the shame of it for Derek, Brian and crew. ATIs OTES is quieter than their normal cooling, so ATI even beat them at "Harley Davidson" style cooling this year.

474/384 (core/mem) overclock, 9800 pro XT is out know 😀

ATi doesn't get the credit (or blame) for that design. HIS is the OEM that came up with it. It does look pretty nice as a quiet design. A good alternative to the Zalman heatpipe setups which also work quite well.

Wow that looks awesome! And it won't block any PCI slots on an NF7-S either 😉.

Those of us with SFF systems with the AGP slot on the outside and PCI on the inside can't use a card that takes up 2 slots without a case mod. I agree that it shouldn't be a issue for the majority of ATX owners and is just nit picking.

i tried to google this card and i couldnt find any US resellers

"The HIS Excalibur 9800 Pro IceQ should be easy to find around Europe and Asia, although availability is somewhat limited in the UK ? the product has only just been released ? although they should be available to buy by the end of next week."

I don't use a single PCI slot... SoundStorm audio, 6 onboard USB 2.0 ports, 2 onboard Firewire ports, 2 onboard ethernet ports, onboard SATA... what else is there? =)

The same here but using 2 PCI holes for a double blower and another one for the smartfan II speed regulation.

I have TV tuner and a PCI modem (just sort of there should I ever need a modem).

Most nowadays don't use any, or it seems...

I am using one for an ATA controller card...

I can spare the other 5

Nice find, Rollo. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 I think that massive card is great! I never use PCI #1 slot anyway...there'd be nothing lost.

I wonder if they are going to sell the HS separately? I could put it on my 9800NP and OC the living snot out of it!

Looks like a great design in light of the noise, temps, and OCability. I'd gladly give up an unused PCI slot for all those benefits.

That is a nice 9800Pro, I wonder why US companies don't sell it or copy it? I'd rather have that by far than a Zalman; I don't think I can hear my 9800 Pro fan now, in my dead quiet basement.
