Same ram different heatsink, so I guess just grab the color you like best.

I'd grab whichever has a lower heatsink - that's the only difference between them, and since the heatsink doesn't actually do anything, the lower one is better for compatibility issues.

which one has the lower heatsink?

Xlolxz :

Just look at them - you can see that the Ares sticks up way lower than the other model.

so i go with the ares one?

Xlolxz :

Yep - it's far less likely to interfere with your heatsink, and as far as the ram itself is concerned, they're exactly the same.
