HDX945WFGMBOX vs HDX945WFK4DGM

[pd_cpa]

Hello,
What's the different between HDX945WFK4DGM and HDX945WFGMBOX? My mobo, m2n32-SLI, accepts HDX945WFK4DGM, but I don't know if I can try HDX945WFGMBOX?

Thanks,

Ah i found the difference.
HDX945WFK4DGM is an OEM/tray microprocessor - comes without heatsink.
HDX945WFGMBOX is a boxed microprocessor- comes in normal box with heatsink.

There basically the same but the OEM one doesn't have a heatsink...

If you already have a adequate heatsink then you could get the OEM one but if they are the same price, a spare cooler wouldn't hurt....
