Specifications
I think that above table with HIS R7 370 specifications and most important features is clear enough and I don’t have to describe much. We can see that HIS improved R7 370 design by better power delivery and cooling what should help in overclocking and quiet work.
Below are also slides from the HIS website which are describing most important features of the R7 370 IceQ design.
Closer Look
HIS R7 370 IceQ graphics card has arrived in a retail package which includes quick installation guide, drivers, DVI to D-Sub adapter and of course graphics card.
Everything is well protected by thick foam and double box so you can be sure that graphics card is in perfect condition. Also our review sample which had a long way to our redaction is without single scratch.
Below you can see additional photos of the package.
Card itself is well designed. “HIS special metal rib” is protecting memory and PCB. You could see it also on the slides from HIS presented above. Below you can see how it looks like on the graphics card. Overclockers will probably like this idea as it’s also cooling memory chips.
From other features worth to mention is 5+1 power phase which helps stabilizing voltages while overclocking and also dual 6 pin 75W power connections to deliver additional power when it’s needed. Standard R7 370 design includes only one 6 pin power connector what can limit overclocking potential of the card.
We are going to present overclocking on the next pages of this review. Now I can only say that modified card’s design helps to acheve much better overclocking results.
On the back of the card we can see DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI and two Mini DP outputs. More than enough than most users will ever need. Display Port and HDMI should be able to handle 4K screen resolution.
