Does anyone have "HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT ICEQ 3 SILENT Heatpipe 512MB" ?

Could anyone tell me the temperature and noise reductions on this card, just wanted to see people with real experiences as i am planning to purchase this card, or is it better just to get a regular x1900XT with the stock cooling - i heard it is very loud... :confused:

i'm after a quieter system, and getting a x1900XT sort of contradicts that, this card might help somewhat, im getting a Seasonic PSU as well, as my Hiper was just so noisy in the end.

atick with your 7800GTX until direct x 10 comes out

but i do have this card and the temperature difference of the card is really nothing, but it is very quiet and reduces system temps compared to stock coolers

I just sold my 7800GTX recently, the Sapphire Toxic X1900XT-X is out of my budget anyway and rather go for a XT than XT-X, and i hopefully will be receiving the HIS Excalibur card today, i heard the temperature difference wasn't that much, but it was the noise level which was most important.
By the way what is the nosie level like on load?
