Asus Ships Ultra-Quiet RTX 5080 Noctua Edition
8.3
Tom's Hardware tested the Asus RTX 5080 Noctua Edition, an air-cooled RTX 5080 variant co-developed with Noctua, and found industry-leading low noise without sacrificing performance or overclocking headroom. However, its 15-inch, four-slot design, 5.9 lb weight and $1,699 MSRP, plus audible coil whine and polarizing brown styling, limit appeal to Noctua faithful and quiet-build enthusiasts.
Key Points
- 1Demonstrates the quietest GPU air cooling Tom's Hardware tested, maintaining low noise with full RTX 5080 performance
- 2Uses three NF-A12x25 G2 fans, vapor chamber, and 11 heat pipes for strong noise-normalized thermal performance
- 3Imposes major fit, weight, and cost constraints: 15-inch length, 5.9 lb weight, $1,699 MSRP
Scoring Rationale
Strong hands-on review of a unique, ultra-quiet RTX 5080 variant, offset by niche appeal and high price.
