iMac27 Memory Upgrade

I have an iMac27 Retina 5K (2017) with 24Gb of RAM. I plan to upgrade to the maximum 64Gb. In the past I have purchased the modules from Crucial because of their stellar reputation. Since it has been awhile, I wanted to check & see if the Crucial modules are still considered to be among the best in performance & reliability.

Thank you.

RAM upgrade in iMac 2020 Hi, I'd like some advice into upgrading the RAM in my iMac.RAM with its mere 8GB. I've ordered a DIMM Memory Upgrade Kit and want some advice as to how to best position them into the two remaining slots. Reason for asking is after reading about potential performance and even system crashing issues on the forum pages. [see attachement and imac 2020 27inch compatible ram - Apple Community] and also some footage at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jojJb9I_krI&t=229s&ab_channel=9to5Mac Clearly I need to get this right so... advice please? Many thanks.

Yes, both Crucial and OWC are highly recommended.
