What is the difference between this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145) RAM and this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231174) RAM. Only differences I see are the heat spreader, and in the model number one is "4GBPQ" and the other is "4GBPI", which I believe refers to the kind of chips, but I don't really know. Which is better? The 2nd worth the extra $20? Thanks.

The only difference I see is the spreaders. I have the two of the blue set and you don't need the extra heatspreader as long as you have airflow in the case. With no direct airflow (running at stock) they are warm to the touch.

I think they both are using powerchip IC's so should be pretty much the same thing with bling.

I had the blue ones until today since I sold them but they served me great.
