Hey guys, I've been looking forward into doing the first upgrade to my MBP (MacBook Pro) which is the model 9,2 (Mid 2012) with Intel Core i5 / 2.5 GHz. So my question is pretty easy but I want to make sure I'm correct before spending the money, and later finding out it was useless.
I am between 2 different options of upgrading my ram. (Both 16GB (2x8GB).
The first one is the Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM (2x8), 204 pins, Auto-Overclocking (no bios configuration required), which has 1600MHz, and 1.5V (Voltage).

Drive your high-performance gaming rig with this 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX memory kit. It consists of two 8GB modules, and its XMP 2.0 support provides automatic overclocking for efficient operation with Intel X99 and 100 motherboards. This DDR4-form-factor Corsair Vengeance LPX memory kit runs with low power consumption at 1.2V. Anyone have specific feelings/stories about Corsair vs. Crucial's RAM for a MacBook Pro (16GB in a mid-2012, to be specific)? Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB.
The second option I've considered is also from Corsair, but instead is Mac Memory. This one has as well 1600 MHz, and it's specific for MAC, and also has 204 pins, but the voltage is 1.35V. and has 11-11-11-30 CAS timing. Now, this one I think it's pretty obvious will absolutely fit into my MBP since it's MAC MEMORY.

NOTE: Both are DDR3 Memory.
Which do you think would be better to put into my MacBook Pro? Btw, which is the appropiate Voltage for my MacBook Pro?
