COMPARE: Models-DHCx-Dx
Compare DHCx vs Dx

- DHCx: The DHCx design uses thermally conductive coupling with the laptop and a solid aluminum heatsink carved with cooling fin air channels to extract heat from the laptop, as well as directing active airflow for flushing out hot air, cooling the laptop enclosure surface, and internally cooling processors on laptops that include a center intake vent.
- Dx: The Dx design uses active airflow for cooling the bottom surface of the laptop enclosure, as well as internally cooling processors on laptops that include a center intake vent.
- DHCx: 9 square inches of thermally conductive area for fitting with laptops that have a more round or curving edge, as well as a wider variety of laptops.
- Dx: No thermally conductive coupling occurs as airflow cooling of the laptop enclosure surface is used instead of conductive heatsink cooling, however, some radiant heat transfers to the solid aluminum dock.
- DHCx: 5 wide cooing fins and 4 wide vertical air channels for increased cooling airflow.
- Dx: No cooling fins are included as airflow cooling of the laptop enclosure surface is used instead of conductive heatsink cooling.
- DHCx: 27 square inches of cooling fin surface area.
- Dx: 6 square inches of cooling surface area with the interior air chamber and ten vent slots.
- DHCx: 2.0 pound heatsink carved from solid aluminum for improved heat movement through thermal mass.
- Dx: 1.8 pound carved solid aluminum.
- DHCx: Fully modular right-to-repair system that uses bolted and snapped connections that work with virtually any available 80mm fan, any fan screen/guard system and any fan speed/power control system, plus allows for quick fan removal for cleaning, servicing or replacement.
- Dx: Modular right-to-repair system that uses bolted and snapped connections that work with most available 80mm fans.

Cooling Stand
“ProTools would normally have the Apple fans screaming… using it on the low setting and it's doing a beautiful job of keeping quiet… appreciate the design, skill and care that went into this product.” - L. B.

Cooling Dock
“We’re pushing them day-in and day-out. Heavy imaging, editing, rendering… Some days it was like they were literally cooking. But no more! Our Svalt D's keep them chill and lets us use them like true workstations.” - K. J.

Cooling Stand
“Respect! For sure it clearly shows your approach to design, material and sustainability. Great product. Fan noise is not audible on the low setting. Perfect! Thanks a lot for the great product.” - J. J.

Cooling Dock
“I’ve used a Hengedock for years, had no idea it was blocking one of the fans… Wish I had this cooling dock since I started using external monitors. I’m running between 13-25 cooler… benchmarks are even better.” - R. S.

Cooling Stand
“There is a noticeable help with thermals as the computer's temperature is substantially better. The fan is extremely quiet in its low setting and exceedingly efficient in its highest one. I absolutely love it.” - J. R.
