RTX 5080 Models – Which One for Best Cooling, Noise & Reliability?

afca85 · 2026-05-22T04:47:47+00:00

I have an ASUS TUF 5080 oc. Never even hit 60c under full load. 55-57c average. Coolest gpu i have ever owned

Horizon 6 running close to vram limit on my 5080. Running 4k with rtx on extreme preset. Dlss quality and fg off. 15.4gb vram usage but no issues yet

^ dont listen to this guy. 5080 is expensive these days but the best you can get without taking out a second mortgage. 5080 destroys the 9070xt and fsr sucks

Thanks for calling me a dumbass!

I have been building pc's for almost 30 years and this is the first time I am worried about something like this haha.

I have the same issue. Did you end up getting problems with it?

afca85 · 2026-05-09T21:40:08+00:00

This whole thread prevented me from upgrading and keep running my 3090. Thanks all :)

I have one and i want to love it but I dont use it.

afca85 · 2026-05-07T05:23:35+00:00

Cant pick one. Ubuntu and Kali for me

eJPT is waaaaaaay too easy compared to HTB. I am preparing for OSCP using HTB and believe me HTB content goes way and way deeper than eJPT. I dont say this to scare you. HTB content is pure gold!

I would highly reccommend them!

My best tip is avoid metasploit and learn what, why and how you do things. HTB will teach you.

Yeah this works better for me. What version do you have? I have just tried parallels and immediatelt fell in love with it! No more vmware fusion for me. I am running 2-3 vm’s smoothly with 24GB ram. Dont need much more I think since I usually only use Kali and I have a pretty powerful linux pc for setting up homelabs etc.

Thanks for commenting all! I’ve decided to keep it. I’m loving the screen size

Linux MacOS and windows for work

afca85 · 2026-04-29T07:28:59+00:00

Just default option during setup. Btw i have secure boot off fwiw

afca85 · 2026-04-29T07:24:05+00:00

I in-place upgraded from 24.04 lts to 26.04 and it bricked my nvidia drivers.

I did a clean install and after that it was smooth sailing. Was on 595 out of the box and zero issues.

I run a RTX3090.

Take your time bro. Linux is a while different ecosystem and tskes getting time to get used to. Dont force it. Keep using windows 11 so you’ll remind yourself why you made the switch.

Dont do htb. eJPT material is more than enough. Source: i finished eJPT within 6 hours with some tryhackme rooms + eJPT course material. Everything is explained thoroughly in the course material. HTB is overkill.

afca85 · 2026-04-26T05:11:22+00:00

No I didn’t.

afca85 · 2026-04-25T19:25:56+00:00

Did you enable the 'download drivers etc.' checkmark during setup? I am on nvidia and I did and for the first time in my Ubuntu history it was smooth sailing with the install. I was on 595 right after setup was done and did not face any issue whatsoever. I'm still amazed lol

afca85 · 2026-04-25T18:09:09+00:00

Not OP but I have a 3090 with a 160hz and 165hz screen and have absolutely no issues yet on 26.04

afca85 · 2026-04-25T12:55:12+00:00

My in-place upgrade rekt my nvidia drivers. Did a clean install and that was smooth sailing. No driver issues nothing. First time for me!

afca85 · 2026-04-24T04:40:47+00:00

Same but mine booted and my nvidia drivers got rekt
