Are these two kits of ram going to play nicely in my computer?

Here is my current set of ram:
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

And the new set of 8GB DDR3 that I just ordered (for $29.99 shipped):
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

This is going into a BIOSTAR TA-970 ATX motherboard with the FX-8350 CPU.

The specs on the ram look identical, and are the same brand. Is the heat-spreaders the only change? Will they work well in conjunction with each other?

Both G.Skill kits:
DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
Timing 9-10-9-28
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V

Well, they are both G Skill and the same speed and size.

I would doubt there would be a problem there.
