Mx Build Configurations

Selecting Support Finish
The Mx aluminum side supports are available in the following finishes:

• Space Black Anodize: A dark gray anodize with bead-blasted surface similar to Apple’s Space Black finish available on MacBook Pros from 2023+. This is a normal production color with reduced lead times.
• Space Gray Anodize: A gray anodize with bead-blasted surface similar to Apple’s Space Gray finish available on MacBook Pros from 2016 to 2023 and MacBook Airs from 2018+. This is a special order color with a longer lead time for a small batch anodize run.
• Silver Anodize: A clear anodize with light gray color and with bead-blasted surface similar to Apple’s Silver finish available on all Mac laptops. This is a special order color with a longer lead time for a small batch anodize run.
• Raw Aluminum: Raw aluminum with hand and mill finish surfaces have a mildly bright “silver” like appearance. This finish has a reduced lead time and reduced cost for an untreated aluminum finish that will patina and change appearance over time. Customers may prefer the patina appearance, or they can recondition and brighten surfaces as desired.
• $30 Discount Extra Supports: Add an extra set of side supports for multiple laptop setups or for a variety of support materials finishes and colors. Receive a $30 bundle discount by adding the following items to the shopping cart: 1) any of the six Mx products and 2) any of the fifteen Mx supports from Mx Components.

See support finishes in product photos, and to learn more, see the Aluminum Materials section under Mx Tech Specs.

Selecting Heatsink Finish
The Mx heatsink includes a hand finished coupling plate to maximize heatsink cooling performance, and is available with the following finishes:

• Space Black Anodize: A dark gray anodized aluminum with hand and mill finish surfaces similar to Apple’s Space Black finish available on MacBook Pros from 2023+. This is a normal production finish and has a slight improvement in passive airflow cooling performance compared to raw aluminum.
• Raw Aluminum: Raw aluminum with hand and mill finish surfaces have a mildly bright “silver” like appearance. This finish has a reduced lead time and reduced cost for an untreated aluminum finish that will patina and change appearance over time. Customers may prefer the patina appearance, or they can recondition and brighten surfaces as desired.

See both heatsink finishes in product photos, and to learn more, see the Aluminum Materials section under Mx Tech Specs.

Selecting Fan Cooling System
The massive Mx heatsink provides silent thermally conductive cooling, and is also available with 140mm and/or 80mm fan cooling systems to boost cooling performance. The 140mm fan bolts directly onto the heatsink, while the separate 80mm fan sits behind the heatsink. Both fan systems are available with either fixed-speed or adjustable-speed control. Each support type is compatible with the fan cooling systems:

• Dock supports are compatible with both 140mm and 80mm fans, and can run simultaneously for increased cooling performance.
• Stand high supports are compatible with 140mm fans.
• Stand low supports are compatible with 80mm fans.

See the Cooling section under Mx Features and 140/80 Fan sections under Mx Tech Specs to learn more.
