Confusion With Mimax / Mimax Pro Naming

[Merilius]

I just bought MiMAX in China online store and have chosen the top specs: octacore, 4GB ram and 128GB storage. I thought it is the "pro" version, but in the settings it says
Model number "MI MAX"
Android version "6.0.1 MMB29M"
MIUI version "7.5.6.0(MBDCNDE)"

I would like to know which rom (MIMAX or MIMAXPro) should I use to make sure not to brick the phone...

MIMAXPro

Thanks.
Is Mi Max Pro just an unofficial name used only at xiaomi.eu to distinguish Mi Max the devices with higher specs? I cannot find it ever mentioned on Xiaomi (English) sites.

I think it's just an unofficial name, because Xiaomi themselves don't use it. It's used to indicate the fact that the processor is different than the 32GB version. The 64 and 128GB versions both use the SD652, but the 32GB uses the SD650.

What is the ROM for Mi Max 64Gb?
I have to use the ROM for Mi Max Pro?

correct Stefano (hello to another Swiss guy, gosh, we are everywhere...)
Hydrogen is for 32 GB = Mimax with SD650 processor 64GB and 128GB is helium = Pro (inofficial name) = SD652 processor
