The CORSAIR one has better timings but the difference between them(the timings) arent much, so i say go for the one which is cheaper as MrsBytch said

This looks like an easy pick to me, buy the Corsair. I've used both Corsair and OCZ and like them both, so I've no bones to pick. Cheaper price and better timings make Corsair the number one, here.
