It’s been a busy week! After receiving two Mini-ITX boards from MSI, as well as the MSI B850 MPOWER model, we’ve just welcomed to the lab a copy of the ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition. As you’ll have gathered, this model is the result of a collaboration between ASUS and Noctua, the famous manufacturer of ultra-quiet fans. They’re not newcomers, since we’ve already had the opportunity to review the ASUS RTX 3070 Noctua OC, but other models have also been available in RTX 3080 and RTX 4080. However, this is the first model since the arrival of this series to feature three fans
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Noctua for making this copy available. The aim of this association is to offer a high-performance graphics card with low noise levels. And if you thought that Noctua had simply placed three of its fans on an ASUS card, you’re way off the mark, as we’ll show you in our article
This ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua is equipped with three second-generation NF-A12x25 G2 fans, with a beige frame surrounding brown blades. Dimensions are 120 x 120 x 25 mm. In terms of specifications, Noctua announces that its fans will operate at up to 1800 rpm. Good news: the fans are easily accessible after removing 8 screws, so you can clean them very easily.
See you in a few days’ time for a full review of this ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition graphics card, which shares the same PCB as the ASUS RTX 5080 TUF Gaming.
