Asus GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition unveiled as the world’s quietest air-cooled graphics card

New sequence combines next-gen NVIDIA graphics with world’s quietest cooling answer

• New ASUS graphics card totally integrates two Noctua NF-A12x25 followers that includes liquid crystal polymer (LCP) impellers and metal-reinforced motor hubs
• The Noctua Edition additionally incorporates a specifically optimized heatsink and vapor chamber to take full benefit of the distinctive talents of the Noctua followers 

TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 5, 2023 — ASUS at present introduced the GeForce RTX™ 4080 Noctua Edition graphics card, a continuation of its collaboration with the legendary cooling firm, constructing on the earlier GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 Noctua variants. This 12 months ASUS and Noctua have labored collectively to tame the energy of the mighty GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card. Noctua fan-design prowess and an ASUS custom-built vapor chamber mix to create the quietest air-cooled RTX 4080 on the market.

Cool and quiet

The ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition incorporates a pair of state-of-the-art Noctua NF-A12x25 followers to maneuver air over a large heatsink, developed in a partnership between the veteran ASUS thermal R&D group and the engineers at Noctua. The engineers efficiently refined the fin density and warmth pipe association of the heatsink, optimizing it for the airflow traits of the NF-A12x25. To prioritize low noise ranges, a easy acoustic signature and excessive cooling efficiency whereas making room for the pair of 120 mm followers, ASUS expanded the card’s complete quantity to occupy 4.3 slots of area. The card incorporates a Dual BIOS change, and Quiet mode is enabled by default to reduce noise proper out of the field.

The NF-A12x25 was a simple alternative for this mission due to the quite a few improvements packed into its 120 mm body. An impeller made utilizing Noctua’s proprietary Sterrox^® liquid crystal polymer (LCP) has an exceptionally low thermal enlargement coefficient, permitting the fan blades to sit down simply 0.5 mm away from the outer body. This extraordinarily tight tolerance permits the NF-A12x25 followers to work extra effectively towards again stress by lowering the leakage of airflow ― excellent for a densely-packed GPU fin stack. A metal-reinforced motor hub and axis additional assist this extraordinarily exact hole between impeller and body.

Vapor chamber innovation

While the collaboration with Noctua on the GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 Noctua Editions was a terrific success in minimizing acoustics for max GPU efficiency, ASUS engineers weren’t content material to relaxation on their laurels. This 12 months, an expansive vapor chamber with a community of eight warmth pipes was included into the design. When working at the GeForce RTX 4080’s TDP of 320 watts, the ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition peaks at simply 61.7° Celsius, with the similar ultra-low noise ranges as the GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 Noctua variants. To get the absolute most out of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, belief the many years of engineering experience behind ASUS and Noctua.

Confident styling

ASUS is aware of that Noctua fans care as a lot about the aesthetics of their builds as they do about excessive efficiency and low noise ranges. Accordingly, ASUS created a {custom} brown shroud for the Noctua followers, complementing their distinctive shade scheme and offering a safe mounting system — no zip ties wanted. ASUS and Noctua logos on the entrance and sides of the shroud, together with delicate graphics on the full-length alloy backplate, assist this card coordinate completely with different Noctua parts in a system.

Power up and play

To maintain the GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition operating its finest, pair it with a premium ASUS energy provide. The ROG Thor 1000P2 is the excellent provide to drive an ultra-powerful, ultra-quiet construct, because of its high-quality parts and environment friendly operation. Or, for a extra compact construct, strive the ROG Loki 1000P FX-L energy provide. Each energy provide comes with a 10-year guarantee, so customers can relaxation assured that their rigs will get pleasure from steady, dependable energy over the long run.
