What is the difference in mainly how the volts are working?
I know that the "x" and "g" at the end mean something to do with the auto or manual overclock-ability. These both state they are 1.5 volt chips.
• JEDEC standard 1.5V (1.425V ~ 1.575V) Power Supply
• VDDQ = 1.5V (1.425V ~ 1.575V)
However, the blue's (C9D3K2's) are marked as 1.65 volt and in the description it states, "Each module kit has been tested to run at DDR3-1600 at a low latency timing of 9-9-9-27 at 1.65V." The silvers/grays (C9D3P1K2's) are marked 1.5 volts and the description states, "Each module kit has been tested to run at JEDEC DDR3-1600 at a low latency timing of 9-9-9 at 1.5V."
 
Why would they both state 1.5 volts then when the blue's run at 1.65? They're both standard at 1.5. The only place it states any difference is deep in the description. Is it just the company trying to hide the 1.65 volts?
