pshelc Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 What is the difference between CM2X1024-6400C4DHX memeory and CM2X1024-6400C4D dominator memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 The second ones are Dominator modules that have EPP profiles and are supposed to be better overclockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Should be the same, their name got changed to DHX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreeme Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 No actually they are different. The DHX just means it has the Dominator Heatsinks (not the heatspreaders like XMS ram). It stands for Dual Heat eXchange....It allows better cooling of the ram chips. The one with D at end is Dominator and as bigbuck08 said it "should" oclock better (oclockign will vary though) and it does have better timings (dont mean CAS I think the other timings are faster not 100% sure though).

Wired Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 May want to tell Ram Guy that then :) http://www.asktheramguy.com/forums/showpost.php?p=319824The 6400C4D Dominator modules have been discontinued, and have been relabeled as 6400C4DHX. The only difference is the DHX version is silver, and does not have an EPP profile for SLI-Ready enabled motherboards. Performance and compatibility is the same.

Xtreeme Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 OK. I looked back to my post that I asked that in and it was bigbuck not ramguy told me was just the heatsink on DHX. Still he is partly right there is a diff. SLI is simple auto mem oclocking/tweaking basically some want that and that would make a diff to them. Me I think its a waiste of $ and if corsair drops that SLI stuff would prob be better. Then folks wont think it should just instanly be better ram then the non sli. Im old school, dont want anything auto oclocking or changing my settings. But ya thanks for the info that they are same really under it all (minus SLI cert). I mean thats what counts anyways.....and nvidia using SLI for two diff things tisk tisk I mean come on like they had to use a marketing term that was for multi-gpu just to save advert costs. Dont they have to pay for that SLI certification too-bleh do away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
