XMS2 vs. XMS2 DHX

Hey guys, I'm about to order my Intel upgrade and was wondering which one of these I should get.

At first, I was gonna get the regular ones but I just saw the DHX ones and they look bad-ass! And they have a 1.8v as opposed to the 1.9v on the regular ones, but is that better or worse? The difference as you can see is $5 US so yeah.

What do you guys think?

The DHX RAM is the same except it has a different heatsink. Compared to RAM with no heatspreaders at all, the DHX heatsinks keep the RAM 13C cooler (in corsair's test). I can't find a comparison to RAM with heatspreaders though.

It's only $5 more for the DHX though, so really it's up to you which you want

Thanks Cromewell

So basically either one I get I'll get a good deal right? In that case I'm going DHX simply because they look nicer than the regular XMS ones. Also about the voltage, the lower the better no? Cause the DHX has 1.8v while the regular ones have 1.9v.

Either will probably run at 1.8v but in general, yes lower voltage is better.
