COMPARE: Models-DHCx-Dx
Compare DHCx vs Dx
Design
- 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.
