Whats the diff between CMX256A-2700C2PT and CMX256A-2700C2

[Telexen]

The first has a platinum heat spreader

[gentry_joey]

ok well is platinum better than black.

It won't make a differene either way... Infact there is a lot of controversy as to wether or not the heat spreaders help at all.

[Telexen]

Heat spreaders not helping at all? Come on now...have you run low latency RAM at those speeds?

[RamonGTP]

I'm not saying they do or don't either way... I'm saying there has been controversey as to wether or not they do. Either way, I highly doubt there'd be a difference between the "Platinum" vs the standard black heat spreader. I've got platinum series Corsair XMS in my machine, and black ones in my parents box, and both work fine.
