Fx CONFIGURATIONS

Cooling System
The Fx can be bundled with the Mx product line’s MxD / MxDW / MxS-lo / MxSW-lo models. The Fx is also compatible with the DHCR / DHC / DH heatsink Cooling Dock models. The Fx comes in multiple fan configurations.

The B16 is recommended for baseline always-on ultra-quiet cooling. The W20 is recommended for more aggressive cooling that can be used in less noise sensitive environments or switched on/off as needed. The R17 falls between the B16 and W20, and is recommended as a good balance between audio and cooling performance. All three B16, R17 and W20 fans can be order bundled together with the R17 pre-installed and the B16 and W20 ready to quickly and easily exchange.

The G18 and B22 variable speed fan covers the full range of ultra-quiet to hi-airflow cooling performance. The G18 and B22 are high-end Noctua fans controlled with Noctua’s dial-variable speed controller.

All of the above fan configurations include front and back black anodized fan supports, front and back black metal fan screen, mounting fasteners, fan 2/3/4-pin fan adapter with on/off switch, 12 volt power supply (fixed for North America and multi-plug for other locations) and hex key for right-to-repair disassembly.

The Fx is also available with a DIY option that does not include a fan, power switch or power supply but includes the hardware so that the user can setup a fan cooling system as they prefer. See the Specifications section below for additional details.
