Gskill RipjawsX 16GB Dual 1866 CL9 Blue?
OR
Gskill RipjawsX 16GB Dual 1866 CL10 rED?

Guys im somehow confused what to choose beetween these 2..
I noticed that the only difference between the two is that the

RED which is CL10 has
Tested Latency 10-11-10-30-2N

and the

BLUE has
Tested Latency = 9-10-9-28-2N

and Im gonna use the SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 board.
Please do enlighten me up guys. :shrug:

Also I found out that the RED One CL10 is much more cheaper than the blue one.

If the speed, timings, and voltage are the same then the only difference is the color of the heat spreader.
 
Are you having issues with the RAM in your signature?
I see no reason to change it.
 
No... im just planning to make another setup..
thats why i was wondering which of the two..

What I'm getting at is that if you're reusing some parts, just go ahead and reuse the RAM also.
If you're planning on just making a second machine, I would get the cheaper of the two, because you won't notice the difference of timings in daily use.

Ok, thnx for the Info,
So now I will just get the Gskill RipjawsX 16GB Dual 1866 CL10 RED.
 
G.Skill kits are like:
red = lower series, more relaxed timings but usually lower voltage
blue = medium, often tight timings and sometimes also lower voltage
black = highest series, best timings but sometimes higher voltage

All can be based on the same IC but black will be almost always on better chips for OC but also cost more. In games it will be hard to notice any difference.
