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.
