I cannot decide between these two RAM modules:

 

Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - White (HX318C10FWK2/16)

 

 

Corsair Vengeance Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10R)

 

My gigabyte motherboards supports 1600MHZ RAM speed and the aesthetics of corsair module looks very impressive to me.

 

In light of this can anyone suggest me if I am OK to go with corsair one or should should I get kingston?

I would go for HyperX as that is what I want to use in my build and Corsairs are overpriced for what they are. The MHZ should automatically downclock or you can do it in the BIOS or Settings. For Looks You Can Get Kingston Savage if you want better looks ;D

go with the corsair (if you like them) as speed really wont make a difference most likely

Why not go with the corsair ones...? I don't understand what you are asking exactly. Either one would work fine, I would recommend go with whichever is cheaper, or looks better. And since you are worried about aesthetics (which I totally understand) go with the corsair kit.

Im sorry if I was not very clear in my question.

What I wanted to ask is that I really want to get the corsair because on amazon it is slightly cheaper than kingston and also looks better. But if kingston will perform better then maybe I should get kingston.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help everyone. These were quick responses.

I wanted to get corsair because it is cheaper and also looks better to me. My only concern was that will kingston perform better or not.

But after reading the above comments I am now confident to purchase corsair
