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...
Install memory in an iMac - Apple Support
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
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.
To sum up, since I didn't get a straight reply I decided to return the Corsair memory and order Crucial modules instead. It felt safe since they have their Advisor tool https://www.crucial.com/store/advisor and they were slightly cheaper.
Thanks, care to explain why as this doesn't really answer my question?
Will Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 fit an iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inch, late 2014)?
