Noctua is an Austrian computer hardware manufacturer of CPU coolers and computer fans with a primary focus on the enthusiast market. The company's inception occurred in 2005 through a joint venture partnership between the Austrian company Rascom Computer distribution Ges.m.b.H., established in August 2000, and the Taiwanese cooling specialist Kolink International Corporation.
The company is named after Athene noctua, the scientific name for the little owl, a symbol of wisdom and intelligence in Greek mythology, which is also represented in its logo.
