Hi all. Sorry in advance if this sounds stupid. I jus got a 5080 aero oc sff gpu, i didn’t know sff meant small form factor. I should’ve done more research on it before pulling the trigger. But I was reading on the internet that I wouldn’t be able to overlock it that much due to insufficient cooling or the performance of this card wouldn’t be as good as a regular sized gpu. but doesn’t this card have more cooling than a regular sff. Would this sff card be limited in anyway performance wise (fps, temps etc) compared to a regular, chunky sized 5080?

3 fans on it, should be fine they make good cards.
For OCing who knows but at the regular speed should be fine.

in short no keep the 5080 youll get scalped by high prices.

its running 3 fans so it shouldnt be that bad.

overclocking headroom isnt a issue unless you intent to push the card.

it will clock as high as all the other 5080s.

and as long as your pc case has loads of fans youll be fine

Awesome, if I do intend do push the card sometimes, would four 120 fans, two 140 fans and a kraken 360 be enough cooling to balance the heat from the gpu?

in short you dont really have to do any overclocking nvidia and amd software clocks it based on temperature

so the cooler your overall air in your case the more the card will boost.

how are the fans set up

is the aio in the top part of the case ?

or the front etc ?

rule of thumb heat rises

the aio is a good idea

other good points about the card it wont sag as much being more compact means its not going to be as heavy or sag .

Hey, sorry for the delayed response man, ik it’s frowned upon but its a prebuilt. I won’t know how the fans are set up until It arrives. There will be 9 fans in total, that includes the 3 from the karakens fans. Once it comes I will take a picture and send u a pic. Is that cool

It looks like it will do fine, realistically Nvidia doesn't allow you to do much overclocking without a modded bios and hardware volt mod anyway. I would keep it since finding any other 5080 that isn't super expensive for at least the next 6 months will likely be quite difficult.

Thanks for the reply and advice. I was just thrown off cause of the SFF label it had and reading about how sff’s are smaller and cant perform like a regular sized gpu. It’s weird The FE has similar dimensions and msi ventus 3x oc plus is smaller and both don’t even come with the sff label.
