ASUS and Noctua have joined forces once again to introduce the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition, the fifth iteration in their acclaimed line of Noctua-cooled graphics cards. This latest model sets a new standard by being the first gaming GPU to feature a triple 120x25mm fan setup, powered by Noctua’s cutting-edge NF-A12x25 G2 fans. Paired with a meticulously designed heatsink, which incorporates a large vapor chamber and a network of eleven heatpipes (seven 8mm and four 6mm), this GPU delivers a significant leap in cooling performance compared to its predecessors.
Kent Chien, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of ASUS’s Multimedia Business Unit, stated, “Our ongoing partnership with Noctua has allowed us to push boundaries with the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition. By integrating ASUS’s engineering prowess with Noctua’s renowned quiet-cooling technology and a novel triple-fan configuration, we’ve crafted a GPU that excels in both performance and minimal noise output.”

Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua, added, “The RTX 5080 Noctua Edition represents a monumental step forward in our collaboration with ASUS. As the first gaming GPU to incorporate three 120x25mm fans, it leverages our next-generation NF-A12x25 G2 fans and an enhanced heatsink design. This combination ensures unparalleled cooling efficiency with exceptionally low noise, making it ideal for gamers and creators who prioritize a quiet experience.
”The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition builds on the legacy of its predecessors by combining Noctua’s flagship fans with a bespoke heatsink optimized for maximum thermal performance. The three NF-A12x25 G2 fans are fine-tuned with offset speeds to eliminate acoustic interference, such as humming or vibrations caused by beat frequencies. This advanced cooling system allows the RTX 5080 Noctua Edition to operate at significantly lower noise levels than ASUS’s TUF Gaming or ROG Astral models while maintaining comparable temperatures.
For gamers and content creators seeking a powerful GPU that balances top-tier performance with whisper-quiet operation, the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition stands out as an exceptional choice.
