NOD Edge Agent Computer Powered by ASUS, Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, RTX 5080 Noctua Edition 16GB, 32GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe Gaming & Local AI Desktop

Quiet by design, powered by ASUS

This build is about performance you don't hear. Its graphics card is ASUS's Noctua Edition RTX 5080, cooled by Noctua fans; the processor is air-cooled by Noctua; and the case is the Noctua Edition of Antec's Flux Pro, in Noctua's signature brown and black. ASUS supplies the platform: the graphics card, the ProArt motherboard and the ROG Thor power supply.

Graphics: ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition 16GB OC

The RTX 5080 Noctua Edition (RTX5080-O16G-NOCTUA) pairs NVIDIA's RTX 5080 and 16GB of GDDR7 with a factory overclock and a three-fan Noctua cooler designed for low noise. It handles current games at high settings and resolutions, and its 16GB of VRAM leaves room for local AI models and assistants.

Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is an unlocked Intel desktop processor on LGA1851, with 36MB of cache, for gaming, streaming and creative work alongside the GPU.

Motherboard: ASUS ProArt Z890-Creator WiFi

The ProArt Z890-Creator WiFi is ASUS's creator-focused Z890 board, with PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7 and ARGB Gen2 headers. ASUS lists it in the AI Development tier of its Agent Computer guide, a step above what the RTX 5080's Personal AI use case requires.

Memory: 32GB DDR5 6000

Two 16GB DDR5 modules at 6000 MT/s give 32GB of memory, plenty for gaming, streaming and multitasking. [Confirm XMP profile for Intel.]

Storage: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB

The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD with room for a large game library, projects and AI models.

The ROG Thor 1000W is 80 Plus Platinum certified and ATX 3.1 compliant, with Aura Sync lighting. It is 150W above the 850W ASUS specifies for an RTX 5080 system.

Chassis: Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is built for quiet airflow, finished in Noctua's black and brown. It completes the build's understated, studio-ready look.
