Asus RTX 5080 Noctua Edition announced with NF-A12x25 G2 fans

Asus's partnership with Noctua continues with the announcement of the Asus x Noctua RTX 5080, delivering a triple-fan cooler with Noctua's famously silent fans.

Asus and Noctua have been partnering on some graphics cards for a few years now but the 5080 variant seems to have the best cooler yet. The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition utilises three of the new NF-A12x25 G2 fans and a fully custom-developed heatsink that combines an extensive vapour chamber with seven 8mm and four 6mm heatpipes.

The fans are offset in speed in order to avoid undesired acoustic interaction phenomena due to beat frequencies such as periodic humming or vibrations. This highly sophisticated cooling setup enables the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition to run significantly quieter than ASUS’ TUF Gaming or ROG Astral models at the same temperatures.

The RTX 5080 Noctua Edition graphics card will be available via Asus starting this month.

KitGuru Says: The Asus x Noctua graphics cards have impressed but they do come with a price premium attached. Would you want to pick up a Noctua-cooled graphics card?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
