Sycom unviels its RTX 5080 LC Hydro GPU with Noctua fans

Sycom unveils custom liquid-cooled RTX 5080 LC Hydro GPUs for its pre-built gaming systems

Following last month’s reveal of its Silent Master series, Sycom has unveiled its first custom RTX 5080 graphics card. This custom GPU features liquid cooling and utilises Noctua fans, making it a cooler-running and quieter option than standard air-cooled RTX 5080 graphics cards. Meet the Sycom RTX 5080 LC Hydro.

Sadly, this GPU will not be available as a standalone product. It will only be available as part of Sycom’s pre-built PCs.

Thanks to Sycom’s liquid cooling solution, the company claims that its custom RTX 5080 model can maintain much higher clock speeds than a standard GPU under load. Sycom claims that their RTX 5080 LC Hydro can maintain GPU clock speeds of 2820 MHz under load, which is 7% higher than a standard RTX 5080’s boost clock.

Alongside higher GPU clock speeds, Sycom’s GPU also runs at lower load temperatures and has lower noise levels under load. The GPU’s core temperature is 64.9 degrees celsius under load, and the GPU maintains noise levels of under 38.9 dB under load.

Sycom has claimed that they are the “only company in the world that assembles and tests water-cooled coolers in-house.” This means that their liquid cooling solutions are verified by their manufacturers and through Sycom’s internal testing. This “double process of operation verification” ensures higher levels of reliability than competing products.

Honestly, it is a shame that Sycom don’t sell their graphics cards as standalone products. If you value silence, Sycom’s custom graphics cards are incredibly appealing. Right now, you can only acquire one of their low-noise GPUs by purchasing a full system from Sycom.
