Any of them is fine. Keep in mind that in most situations (unless you are seriously overclocking) the heat spreaders and fans are just for show, so choose whichever one floats your boat. Also watch out for possible clearance problems with the CPU cooler, on RAMs with high heatspreaders.

Also note that there's very little to be gained by using RAM faster than DDR3-1600, and even less to be gained beyond 1866.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

Thanks! That actually really helped
