Noctua follows a 6-segment alphanumeric naming scheme for their cooling solutions, in 2 parts separated by a ''hyphen (-).'' Example: <u>NH-D15S</u>


The ''''N'''<nowiki/>' stands for Noctua, the second digit tells what the type of product is (see below), the digits after the hyphen are product-specific.
The ''''N'''<nowiki/>' stands for Noctua, the 2nd segment describes the category of product it is. Followed by the 3rd segment, which describes the type of product from that category.
===<big>1<sup>st</sup> digit:</big>===
 
The 4th and 5th segment helps differentiate between individual product lines.
