lol… so yeah. I’m building a new computer and I’m at a standstill on which ram to buy. Both are G.SKILL sets but from different series. The first is the Ripjaws X series [LIST] [_] DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) [_] Timing 10-12-12-31 [_] Cas Latency 10 [_] Voltage 1.6V [/LIST] Link is [HERE](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231654)! The second is the Sniper Low Voltage Series [LIST] [_] DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) [_] Timing 9-9-9-24 [_] Cas Latency 9 [_] Voltage 1.25V [/LIST] The link for that one is [HERE](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231461)! Both are 240 pin sets and I feel like the Ripjaws is the better choice because it’s better timing and cas latency than the Sniper. But the idea of a lower voltage also is very enticing to me (and I was going to make the whole thing black/red). However, I don’t know enough about ram to know beyond the voltage helps on overclocking. But I do know that that the Ripjaws is on sale for $55 dollars (originally priced the same as the Sniper) where as the Sniper LV is $76.
