I found a few similar discussions about this, but they are written 4 years ago. Yesterday I found a single stick 16GB SODIMM memory that seems to fit into my Non-Retina 2012 i5 MacBook Pro. Just wants to check if anybody got 32GB RAM in the MacBook Pro working or not. Sometimes 16GB of RAM is a little small for what I'm doing.
MacBook Pro (Late 2012)-OTHER, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
I am using the non-retina MacBook Pro (Mid-2012, not late, sorry for the mistyped word.) I look at this computer's CPU page, it shows that the processor supports up to 32GB. Not sure if the logic board supports it. On Apple's support website it says it supports 8GB but I managed to do 16, just wondering about 32.
p.s. Sorry for the late reply
I have the 2012 i7 Non-Retina MacBook Pro and 32GB of RAM did not work for me. It just gave the startup beeps that means no RAM is installed. The most I could get to work is 16GB.
To date I have seen no third party vendor offer 16 GB RAM chips that are compatible with any MBP so I would be apt to say 32 GB RAM in a MBP will not work. However recently I did see 16 GB RAM modules for sale. One can purchase them, install them and see what are the results.
Ciao.
According to MacTracker, MacBook Pro (Retina, 13" Late 2012) supports only 8 GB of RAM. That's the only "Late 2012" model they list. Are you sure that's what you have?
By the way that is my second account
I have a MBP mid-2012 13" with dual core i5 CPU. Upgraded with 16gb of ram and 500gb SSD. And from my experience the CPU becomes saturated before you can utilize 16gb of ram.
thank you pioneer
Does MacBook Pro (Late 2012) supports 32GB of RAM
