Noctua stands for ‘little owl’ in Latin. Hence the owl in their logo. Noctua, a fairly young company that manufactures aftermarket cooling solutions, is based in Austria and has been producing some of the better cooling products on the market. Working together with the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology, they continuously strive for new developments and improvements in their cooling products. Recently we have seen quite a few products from Noctua coming out on the market which is helping to make the Noctua brand better known here in North America. Noctua strongly believes in cooperation which leads to another interesting fact: Noctua’s products are a result of the cooperation of several companies, such as Rascom Computer distribution, Kolink and the Austrian Institute of Heat Transmission and Fan Technology.
