Yes. See: Install memory in an iMac - Apple Support

Also note the following from Install memory in an iMac - Apple Support


For optimal memory performance, DIMMs should be the same capacity, speed, and vendor. 

and

Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) DIMMs have a notch on the bottom, slightly left of the middle. If your DIMMs are mixed in capacity, minimize the capacity difference between Channel A (slots 1 and 2) and Channel B (slots 3 and 4) when possible.

You can install as much as 128 GB of RAM (4 x 32 GB) in that iMac.


You may want to check the Memory Pressure graph in Activity Monitor while running a normal workload. On the graph,


  • Green indicates that your system has enough RAM, relative to what it is doing
  • Yellow indicates that the amount of RAM is marginal
  • Red indicates that you don't have enough RAM and that this is likely hurting performance
