Mac mini (Late 2012) and Mac mini server (Late 2012) computers have two internal memory slots. These slots accept standard PC3-12800 DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs (Small Outline DIMM) with the following specifications:

  • PC3-12800 DDR3
  • Unbuffered
  • Non-parity
  • 204-pin module
  • 1600 MHz

You can use RAM module sizes of 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB in each slot. For best performance, don't mix sizes of memory modules. Install two identical memory modules.DIMMs with the following features will not work:

  • Registers or buffers
  • PLLs
  • ECC
  • Parity
  • EDO RAM

Does Kinston say they will work? Have you went to their support site?

Mac's are picky about memory
