Will Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 fit an iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inch, late 2014)?

I got a RAM upgrade for my kids iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inch, late 2014), but I'm not sure I got the right type of memory. Anyone who can confirm if Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 will fit? I did Google, but I don't find any definitive results. Would like to know before I break open the package...

Macs are very, very picky about what DRAM they work with. Even though the specs are right there could be other factors. I personally have never heard of Corsair but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a good company and their product will work just fine. It’s just we old timers have long depended on OWC or Crucial for our DRAM needs because they always work.


If you buy the Corsair just make sure they have a good return policy in case things don't work out.
