Question 1

Are there any mechanical differences (I see the physical differences) between this and the G.SKILL FTB-3500C5-D?

Accepted Answer

No, there are not. They are purely esthetical differences and intended to match a specific version of their RAM, like as an example, Corsair has a different looking cooler for their Vengeance series than they do for the Dominator. I have used both and are holding up very well. The only thing that would have made them better, if if instead of using a generic Molex socket for power, they were available with a four pin PWM socket to take advantage of the newer motherboards.

Question 2

Would it be ok/safe to paint the frame and rings around the fans? so basically the frame. If so what kind of paint?

Accepted Answer

Hi Johnathan,
I don't think it would hurt to paint the frame and rings around the fans.  I have not done that or thought about it.  I would be sure NOT to get any paint on the fan blades as this could throw it out of balance and cause a pre-mature burn out of the fan motor(s).  For the type of paint, I'd choose something that's heat resistant -- not sure of a specific brand other than Rust Oleum.  
I hope this helps.

Question 3

How many rams ?

2RAMs or 4RAMs

The best way to confirm specs is actually by checking the manufacturer's website (that's where we get them). Click on the Specifications tab on the item page, and look in the Quick Info box on the bottom of the page.
