ASUS RTX 4080 ROG Strix Review

Dominic Moass December 8, 2022 Featured Tech Reviews, Graphics, Reviews

Following on from our stock thermal and acoustic testing, here we re-test the operating temperature of the GPU, but with noise levels normalised to 40dBa. This allows us to measure the efficiency of the overall cooling solution as varying noise levels as a result of more aggressive fan curves are no longer a factor.

Considering the Strix is so quiet, we had to increase fan speed up to 54%, or 1720rpm, to hit 40dBa of noise. That resulted in best-in-class GPU thermals, which is even more impressive when you consider that it also has the highest power limit of any other RTX 4080 we have tested, at 360W (most others are 340W or 320W.)

Memory thermals also dropped, this time to 60C, which is still a 6C improvement over the Founders Edition, even if other competitors offer better results.
