Difference is Company AKA "name", Color, Heat sink and possible OC potential. At stock settings the G.Skill Cas 7 will be slightly faster and I personally think, if you are into overclocking, It will most likely get a higher OC, not to mention cost less. Corsair makes a good set of ram also but tend to be a bit more expensive and have a tendency to get a lower OC out of them.

Go for the G.Skill set. You will be very happy with them.

wow you may be hard pressed with both options as both have tall heat sinks on them. If I were to purchase Ram for under a noctua cooler I would get what they call "low profile" ram or LP ram. these ram sticks still can have coolers on them but the height from connections to the top of the PCB is shorter. These allow for a big cooler and ram to be inserted over and under each other respectively. I will try to find an example for you so you can see the difference.

If the Noctua web site says the "exact" model number and not just name then it should fit. Also some motherboards move the ram slots in and out by a few millimeters so for then to fit under could be a hit or miss. Yes the noctua is well worth the price over the Hyper 212's. The Main concern is the Noctua is very heavy and can cause problems with thin PCB motherboards. Actually a few months back one of the builders for toms here had a problem just like I'm describing with one of the quarterly builders series boards he wanted to use.

What CPU and what type of OC are you wanting/expecting...guessing here it's an Intel the Have the Hyper 212 EVO on a 2500K 24/7 at 4.8, another on a 3570K at 4.7 24/7 and had one with my 4770K at 4.4/4.5 running 24/7 while I was waiting for them to release the CM GTS V8, on the 4770K it would have been fine at 4.6 with the Hyper threading turned off.

On the sticks go with the Ripjaws X, they have the tighter CL, and have much more OC headroom, the Corsairs you are paying a massive premium for their name, GSkill continues to be the innovation leader (coming out with newer and higher freq sticks)

I have no experience with that board. By the name It sounds like an AsRock board. IF I'm wrong Please feel free to correct me on who makes the board. I personally have found Asrocks boards to be a little on the thinner side, But this is just my opinion.
