Always wanted a Noctua-blessed RTX 4090? Well, something that close is here with the release of the ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Noctua OC Edition.
After fiddling with the old RTX 3070 and 3080 alongside the original RTX 4080 and to huge success, the world-class whisper-quiet model with superior cooling performance is back. Armed with a custom-built vapor chamber and massive heatsink, the heat is removed by the renowned NFA12x25 fans.
But in exchange for spiking everything else to the max, this card occupies a whopping 4.3 slot so be sure to double confirm whether your case has the space and PCIe back slots to hold the card in. As long as you are fine with this, you’ll get the low 27dB noise output under full load without running into thermal throttling.
Speaking of the custom-made fan, Noctua’s proprietary Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer material was utilized to provide a super-low thermal expansion coefficient, resulting in a high tight tolerance that leads to low airflow leakage, making the overall cooling capability much better than conventional alternatives.
As usual, users can run the GPU Tweak III software to further customize and tune the power and fan graph to their liking. Additionally, those who want to do everything through their phone can use the new Mobile Monitor which is essentially a remote interface for the GPU Tweak III software.
