Hello,

Happy New Year guys!

I wanted to ask what would be better to buy

An ECC RDIMM DDR4 with heatsink (Samsung) or an ECC RDIMM DDR4 with no heatsink (Sk Hynix/Micron). Please note that it is going to be used in a Tower Chassis. I'm not sure which heats less and have no idea why only Samsung chips are manufactured with heatsink. Does Samsung heat up more in general than SK Hynix/Micron? Is that the reason why Samsung is using heatsink while others do not?

Thanks

My Hynix 2666MHz Unbuffered ECC DDR4 without heatsinks. Granted, ambient temperature is 21°C right now.

Go for the cheapest ones that you have a certain degree of confidence they work with your motherboard.

Cool man.

Any idea why only Samsung uses heatsink? Do their chips heats more as compared to other semiconductor corp?

I have no clue. Might be because this way they can sell at higher price, because the modules actually need it, because they are not used in a rack chassee with higher laminar flow, or any combination of those.
