thiccc boi is back! However, why no 4090? o_O I know there wasn't a 3090 Noctua either, but since that was their first go around, I figured they would go all out on the big card this generation. Guess Asus wants to keep the Strix 4090 as king, but it will be interesting to see if these ultra silent fan Noctua cards will have some of that world famous Asus 4xxx series coil whine...

I guess they figured, if they used the ultra silent air cooler, they would probably have people way more upset about the coil whine (not masked by fan noise) 😀

I would love one of those but they are out of my league...

LOL yeah. I am wondering how this will go. They will need to use higher quality inductors and more phases if they want to get the coil whine in check. MSI is using very high-end inductors and 18 phases on their suprim x 4080 which is obvious the moment you look at the board.

Good luck with the coil whine, ASUS is terrible with that this 4000 series.

Another overpriced BS GPU. Sorry Ngreedia and I am so sorry Noctua, its not your fault, we know you want to be in the gpu market and we welcome you too! I still think its best to use the reference card when that becomes cheaper, that goes for rtx 4090 in 2025 when its actually less than $1000 and put a water block to it. Especially if you already have a custom loop in the system.

zero coil whine with an alphacool waterblock with thermal grizzly paste fyi and I don't remember hearing any on watercooled gpus that's my 3rd I understand this is unreasonable hardware, just saying it seems to be a problem from either heat or the giant coolers, but my 1080ti didn't have a 35cm cooler and it still disappeared when I liquid cooled

Looks like a Fantastic card but the only thing I do not like is that ugly caca cored fans! What were they thinking siriously?! Thats the main reason I never bought the cpu coolers from them. Brown and Light brown?! - Come on guys! Nactua- Maybe switch to simething like a Black and Red ? Wait thats ROG you cant .

Everyone is doing black/white/red fans nowadays, it kinda bores me. That's why I like them, they're different, solid, with industrial look. They have other series with black aestethic, but I kinda prefer them this way. But, again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

They have the Chromax line which are black fans and coolers, but they seem to ignore the GPUs. https://noctua.at/en/products/product-lines/line-chromax I'm still surprised people don't know about that to this day, it's been out for years.

People know but we buy Noctua because we like them, the color doesn`t matter that much, at least to me.

Pretty awesome, 4080's are a good candidate for this as the run pretty cool and quiet as is. This with an undervolt should be dead quiet. Well done

When you buy black noctua fans they look in the first glance like like any other fan, when people see the turd color though they know it is noctua instantly :P

Atleast my ears know it's Noctua.
