RX 580, but this one was hardly known

Chinese review of that same card

http://yujihw.com/review/his-rx-580-iceq-x²-turbo-8gb-review

 

So this exists... and I don't know jack squat about Hightech Information Systems (HIS) as much as the next guy.

I was cruising around facebook marketplace, searched under rx 580 8gb on a whim. I saw MSI, Sapphire, Gigabyte, the usual stuff. Then, I came across a 580, whose brand is unknown to me. And I looked around to find that exact model for same price of around $125, which was waaaay below other used rx 580s.

What do you guys think in terms of:

Design/Aesthetics?

Cooling Performance?

Noise Performance?

Overall Performance?

Longetivity?

And efficiency?

And others that I forgot to mention.

HIS are very well known.

HIS was a big name alongside Sapphire, they havent done so well in recent years though and quit many markets. I have heard of some HIS cards sharing origins with XFX cards.

Userbase is rather young seemingly.

So, what do you think of this card if you've ever had this?

I didn't get it. Pardon?

Yallo? Anybody?

My 2nd GPU was ATI HIS 9100 i bought back in 2003/2004. They're not quite popular in western and market share is pretty low.

I don't know much about their cooler performance since Polaris released. Look pretty ugly to my eyes.

I think its pretty with those blue "eyes"  but admit to have poor taste (which is among other reasons i run a closed case lol).

 

However from that review "It should be noted that this card requires about 270W of power after overclocking, which exceeds the 225W of PCIE 8 PCI+ PCIE slot specified by PCIE" does not sit well with me (even though can be prevented by less oc and perhaps undervolt, i dont like hw that could make other stuff go out of spec).

 

The 1st link mention "4 phases", which, at near or over 200w sounds like "not a lot and probably very hot", but am not sure if i intrepret that correctly though.

 

Mind you, im overly cautios and am a overkill better safe than sorry kind so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Looking at the product photos of 1st link and review photos, the bending /squashing of the heatpipes makes it look like the card was a crash test dummy in a car accident. Propably works, but just, well "eeew"..

Other than that, for the right price, it could be interesting; would love to have one for just a day to test it like reviewers do (but than again, who wouldnt )

Weirdly enough, it sells the same price in different places. Its priced at PHP 6500 new/used which is roughly $125 (that could tell you where I'm located).
