Guys, i need some advice, thanks.

Is it worth upgrade from current ram(Corsair VENGEANCE DUAL-CHANNEL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz 9.9.9.24 (CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9) to Corsair Dominator GT Dual Kit 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1866MHz 9.9.9.24 (CMT4GX3M2A1866C9)?
I just can find this locally.
And another one, Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz to Corsair Dominator GT Dual Kit 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1866MHz 9.9.9.24 (CMT4GX3M2A1866C9)?
Both system using Intel i5 and i7.

Beside that, i can't fit HyperX Fan into the slot, due to big cooler, "Cooler Master V6 and another is Xigmatek Colosseum SM128164, so planning switch over to "Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler" so that i can fit the memory module fan, is it worth doing so? And does it necessary to attach the memory?
Thanks and sorry i am not good in english.
 
You will not notice any difference in performance, and if you run benchmark tests you will see *maybe* a 1-2% difference between the 1600MHz and 1866MHz Ram if at all.

Also, it is unnecessary to actively cool your RAM with a fan, since DDR3 RAM runs cool anyway.

So, I say it is not really worth it to upgrade for just a very slight difference. I would spend the money on some SSD's or GPU's.
