UNITED KINGDOM 02/03/2025MoreTo further supplement thermal management, the ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition also features a patented vapour chamber with milled pathways, allowing for its heat pipes to sink into each groove without flattening, which boosts heat dissipation efficiency, maximises contact surface and improves thermal performance by an additional 10%. Additionally, its proprietary MaxContact design increases the surface area of the GPU heat spreader, and works with the phase-change GPU thermal pad to fill the gaps between the GPU and the thermal module, ensuring unparalleled heat dissipation for optimal performance and endurance even under extreme loads.
