Buying new memory, need help

[Novodk]

I am looking at the Narwhal build that was on the frontpage some days ago.
the memory listed there is called: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Ripjaw Series (9-9-9-24) Dual Channel kit F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
but i can't buy them in denmark :S
so i looked these up: http://www.edbpriser.dk/ram/gskill-s...d-4925513.aspx

is there any difference? or can i safely buy them?

the product "key's" are almost the same

F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2

Any help ?

Its the exact same 'hardware' underneath with a different heatsink. Some people think the black gun on the heatsink looks cool. I would buy it if its at a fair price. Sniper RAM tend to be priced higher because it looks cool.

Here's a list of equivalent RAM from Corsair and GSkill: www.edbpriser.dk/hardware/ram.aspx?qt=Fql&nf=strmatrix7%3a^8+GB¤8589934592.0000000000%24§strmatrix1%3a^"DDR3+SDRAM +¤0.0000000000"%24[MultiValSep]§manufacturer%3aG.Skill[MultiValSep]Corsair[MultiValSep]§strmatrix6%3a^PC3-12800+¤12800.0000000000%24§strmatrix9%3a^"2+¤2.0000000000"%24[MultiValSep]§strmatrix8%3a^"CL9+¤0.0000000000"%24[MultiValSep]§&s=igeneric4

Snipers run at lower voltage too. Makes it (theoretically) better for OC.

Key thing is to make sure the DDR3, the number of PINS and the MHZ match up. They do so basically the same and you're gtg.
