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.
 
The 4th and 5th segment helps differentiate between individual product lines.
