Is it the Red or Blue? I noticed that the only difference between the two is that the RED has 10-10-10-30-2N and the BLUE has 9-9-9-24-2N.

Which one do you think is better? and 10-10-10-30-2N and 9-9-9-24-2N, how does it affect the performance in my computer?

Which one is really should I choose 10-10-10-30-2N or 9-9-9-24-2N?

Red will OC better than Blue and will give better results in extreme stressed environment.

Why do you say so? What is the difference between having 10-10-10-30-2N and 9-9-9-24-2N? How these 2 affects the performance of my computer? I will not use these Memories for Overclocking. I am somewhat doubtful which one should I choose.

The CL9 set is technically faster out of the box, but it's so small a difference that I don't think you'd notice the difference even if you were to put them side by side, go with whichever color you like or which is easier on the wallet. You'll drive yourself crazy and get no where fast looking at benchmarks on RAM that is nearly identical.

The one with 9s is going to be ever so slightly faster but really it will only be noticeable in benchmark scores you will not see a difference. Get whichever is cheaper or if they are the same get the 9s

Okay so does that mean that the G.Skill Blue is better since it's CL9?

Yes that's correct

Yes, the RJ set f3-1600c9d-16gxm (Blue) is the faster and stronger set, also OCs better (rated M for medium OC potential) the CL10 set is a L for Low potential, can also find some 1600/7 sets that have the H at the end of model number for High potential
