Sycom is combining a Manli GeForce RTX 5080 Nebula with an all-in-one water cooler equipped with two 120mm Noctua fans and a 240mm radiator. There’s a total of five fans that are cooling the graphics card, which probably turns the RTX 5080 LC Hydro into one of the coolest and quietest GeForce RTX 5080 units on the market.
The manufacturer specifically mentions 7% higher boost clock frequencies of up to 2,820MHz, while the GPU is still not expected to exceed temperatures of 64.9 degrees Celsius. This leaves users plenty of headroom to either lower the fan speed in order to make them quieter at the expense of temperatures, or to overclock the GPU even further. According to Sycom's official specifications, the cooling system is relatively quiet under load at just 34.8dB.
Sycom claims that the water cooling requires no maintenance thanks to extensive quality control that should prevent leaks and corrosion issues. In Japan, Sycom offers a range of prebuilt gaming PCs that cool both the processor and graphics card with independent all-in-one water coolers, featuring three and two Noctua fans respectively. This setup supposedly keeps the system from exceeding 38.9dB under load.
Price and availability
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Silent Master is currently exclusively available in Japan and only as part of prebuilt computers. Therefore, the graphics card is not sold individually, not even via import.
