Compared to the past two generations, ASUS and Noctua have taken greater care to ensure that the cooler shroud design makes the card appear like a cohesive factory-made product, and not a card with a DIY cooling solution installed by the user. The G2 fan features Noctua's second generation progressive-bend impeller with flow-acceleration channels, winglets, and a unique hub design Noctua calls centralized turbulator. The impeller is made of Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer. The fan also comes with Noctua's SSO2 hydro-dynamic bearing. The cooler has been extensively tested by Noctua to ensure the lowest possible noise levels from an air-cooled RTX 5080, lower than even a DIY liquid cooling setup that includes pump noise.
“The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition is also an impressive graphics card because it's a 4K gaming GPU that makes no noise at all when you're gaming - which is remarkable to witness in person.

“Having experienced the card gaming with barely a whisper, I can only appreciate the work that Asus and Noctua are doing through this continued collaboration, and would happily run this RTX 5080 in any system that could fit it. There truly is no substitute for this card, which isn’t something most custom cooling designs can claim.”
