Which RAM is better?

Legenda in Aeternum
Both are 1600/9, but the Corsair is at the more standard 1.5 volts while the Kingston requires 1.65 per their specs (A bit ridiculous for basic 1600/9 sticks, when most (over 90% of all 1600 sticks use 1.5 or less, including the higher performance CL8 and CL7 sets)

I will OC the RAM so ill save my £4 and also it looks ugly I prefer black and red personally. Also what difference would 0.15v make and how would it effect the system?

what do you mean by CL8 and CL7?
 


"Cas Latency" which is the lower the better :)

You can also look at the regular Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHz CL9 1.5v
