ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua OC 10GB Semi-Fanless Graphics Card

The ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua Edition is the ideal card for quiet cooling enthusiasts who demand serious GPU performance without sacrificing quietness of operation.

Strictly one per customer.

ASUS and Noctua engineers teamed up to pair two iconic NF-A12x25 PWM fans with a tailor-made thermal solution that rides on a custom PCB. This potent pairing allows the ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua Edition to produce less noise than any air-cooled graphics card in its class. If you’re a Noctua afficionado, gamer, or content creator looking for the right balance of performance and acoustics, this is it.

Cool and Quiet

From shroud to heatsink, every aspect of the cooler is optimised to set new standards for thermals and acoustics.

Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM Fans

The two Noctua NF-A12x25 120mm fans integrate a low-resonance Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) fan impeller, metal-reinforced motor hub, stabilised bearings, and custom low-noise PWM controller to deliver performance you can rely on day in, day out.

Tailor-made Heatsink

ASUS and Noctua engineers ran extensive simulations to optimise heatpipe placement and fin density to take full advantage of the air propelled by both Noctua NF-A12x25 fans.

Zero dB Technology

The GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua Edition features a semi-passive fan control setup (ASUS 0dB technology) that can switch the fans off completely whenever the GPU temperature goes below 50°C. This means that in typical configurations with low to moderate ambient temperatures and well-ventilated cases, the card can run entirely fanless at lower GPU loads such as during office productivity tasks, web browsing, or even light gaming. Even at high GPU loads such as during gaming or benchmarking, the fan speeds will stay extremely low as long as the ambient temperature inside the case isn’t excessive.

Dual Bios

The Noctua edition card features a dual BIOS that enables customers to switch between a performance profile that provides the lowest GPU temperatures and a quiet profile that allows slightly higher temperatures in order to achieve the best possible acoustics. Catering to the demands of Noctua’s customers, the quiet profile is set as the default.

GPU Tweak II

For enthusiast users who want to take things one step further, the included ASUS GPU Tweak II software as well as the upcoming, beta-version GPU Tweak III provide extra possibilities such as setting custom fan curves or undervolting. Reducing the thermal output of the card, undervolting can make it possible to let the card run even quieter. For example, reducing the GPU voltage by around 100mV can drop the GPU temperatures by several degrees and thereby widen the thermal margin to slow the fans down even further.
