I've got 2 8gb memory modules that came out of my iMac retina 5k, 27-inch 2017, can I put them in my wife's imac 27inch late 2012?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
No. The two take very different modules:

No way!
The 2012 iMac uses 204 pin modules
The 2017 iMac uses 260 pin modules
Plus the notches are in a different place, so that you can not screw up and fry your memory controller or modules.
Prior to Intel Macs, the old PowerPC Macs could often use faster RAM than was intended for them as long as it fit. Things got picky when the Intel processors were adopted in 2006.
Thanks All!
OWC has trade in program. https://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/support/rebates/memory.cfm
as long as you buy upgrades from them. Great company, great reputation.
Personally I always keep the stock modules, handy just incase the Mac has a problem and/or needs to go in for service.

+1 on that. The trade-in value is rather low anyway.
Can Memory modules from a newer iMac be put in an older iMac?
