The core of the Noctua Standard line of CBOs are quiet, high-performance towers with massive single or double aluminium radiators, 5-7 heat pipes for additional cooling and one / two premium turntables manufactured by Noctua itself. All fans are removable and support automatic rotation control, and they differ in diameter (usually 120 mm, rarely 140 mm) and maximum rotation speed (1300 - 2200 rpm). By the way, the fans are also sold separately from the air coolers themselves, so if necessary, the user will not have to face unpleasant surprises to replace the fan.


The main star of this line is the super cooler Noctua NH-D15, which replaced the legendary NH-D14. This is a well-built tower with two stock fans, the highest efficiency (TDP 220W) and extremely low noise even when overclocking a serious Core i7 12700K processor. At the same time, it is quite easy to install, is friendly with all current processor sockets, boasts an excellent bundle (thermal paste, adapters with resistors), and the highest level of quality is confirmed by a 6-year warranty from the manufacturer. Noctua NH-D15 was presented to the public back in 2014, has since won numerous awards and has become the epitome of a living classic in the hi-end component market.

It is precisely this super scrupulous attention to both the overall quality of workmanship and minor things that earned Noctua coolers a cult status. By shelling out for a rather expensive Ryzen 9 caliber processor and pairing it with a Noctua CBO, a potential user bypasses any potential problems associated with installing a cooling system, supporting a new socket, cooling quality or noise level.
