Guess you remember the HIS R7 360 iCooler card we have reviewed last September, which did come with a proprietary cooling design from the manufacturer, the GPU clock was boosted a bit by 20MHz, while the RAM was left at the same speeds as the stock OEM design.

Since not a lot of new GPUs appeared from AMD in the most recent time frame, HIS started to innovate on new board designs, making their products more efficient than before and have also eliminated extra PCI-E power connectors.
