MxSW-lo Build Configurations

Select Support Material

The Mx wood side supports are available with the following material:


Black-Core Fiber: New wood material made from 89% renewable, 100% recovered (reduce waste and emissions), low-formaldehyde (no added formaldehyde), moisture-resistant, high-density wood fiber material. The material has a through-core solid-black color with a hard, fine and smoothly sanded face surface that has a charcoal black appearance with light color fiber flecks. Note that the material is darker than as shown in product photos.


Amber Bamboo: Made from fast-growing, rapidly-renewable and sustainable bamboo in a solid void-free 3-ply vertical edge construction with formaldehyde-free binder. Bamboo ply material makes for exceedingly durable, strong, light, and consistently high-quality milled parts. The bamboo has an amber golden-brown hue produced by caramelizing naturally occurring sugars within the bamboo. The face surface has a smooth finish, and the milled edge shows the two surface layers over the central core layer.


Discount Bundled Supports: Add extra supports to have multiple laptop setups or a variety of support materials finishes and colors. Receive a bundle discount on each extra set of supports by adding the following items to the shopping cart: 1) Add any one of the nine Mx products and 2) Add one to three sets of the Mx supports with twenty-four different support types, materials and colors from the Mx Components page..

Note: See wood materials in product photos, and to learn more, see the Wood Materials section under Mx Tech Specs.

Select Heatsink Finish

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


Raw Aluminum: Raw untreated aluminum with a mildly bright silver-like appearance. The finish will patina and change appearance over time. Customers may prefer the patina appearance, or they can recondition and brighten surfaces as desired. Includes stainless steel side support mounting fasteners.


Black Anodize: New black anodize with a deep matte black finish for improved emissivity, increased radiant cooling, and increased durability. Includes black side support mounting fasteners. Anodizing the heatsink takes additional time, which depending on current inventories may result in a longer estimated order build lead time.

Note: See black anodize heatsink with black supports and raw aluminum heatsink with bamboo supports in product photos, and to learn more, see the Aluminum Materials section under Mx Tech Specs.

Select Fan Cooling System

The massive Mx heatsink provides silent thermally conductive cooling, and was also designed for fan driven airflows to boost cooling performance.


The Mx with low stand supports works with the 80mm fan that sits behind the heatsink to simultaneously cool the heatsink while driving cooling airflow into the 2021+ MacBook Pro’s center intake vent. Available 80mm fan systems:


80mm fixed-speed red fan R17(8): The red blades and black frame SilenX EFX-08-15 fan offers a good balance between cooling and noise performance with 1700 rpm speed, 31.8 CFM airflow, 2.42 mm H2O static pressure, 16.8 dBA noise.


80mm adjust-speed black fan B22(8): The black Noctua NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap fan and NA-FC1 speed-controller prioritize ultra-quiet performance with ultra-long-life bearings, 450 to 2200 rpm speed, 32.7 CFM airflow, 2.37 mm H2O static pressure, and 17.7 dBA noise at max speed.

Note: See the Cooling section under Mx Features and 80mm Fan sections under Mx Tech Specs to learn more.
