MacBook Pro 15" 2011 memory kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs built for the 2.4 GHz quad-core Intel i7 MacBook Pro 15-inch Late 2011. The modules run at 1333 MHz with CL9 timings and operate at the standard 1.5 V. They are unbuffered, non-ECC and use a 204-pin layout.

16 GB capacity and headroom

The 16 GB total matches the maximum the Late 2011 15-inch logic board can address, so the machine will recognise every byte. Applications that benefit from large memory — virtual machines, photo libraries, video timelines — will run without paging. Workloads that need more than 16 GB cannot be supported on this platform.

Thermals, noise and power

SO-DIMMs have no moving parts and no heat spreaders, so they add no audible noise. Power draw stays at the DDR3 1.5 V nominal level, producing only modest warmth inside the MacBook's existing thermal envelope. The system's own fans manage the extra heat without any change in acoustic profile.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-pin DDR3-1333 SO-DIMMs work in the 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro that originally shipped with 1333 MHz memory?

The kit is specified as compatible with the 2.4 GHz Intel quad-core i7 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3 / A1297) and runs at DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) CL9 1.5 V, matching the factory speed for that model.

How can I confirm the 16 GB kit is recognised at the correct speed after installation?

Open About This Mac → Memory and verify it shows 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 at 1333 MHz; System Report will also list each SO-DIMM as PC3-10600, CL9, 2Rx8, 1.5 V.

Does the package include anything besides the two 8 GB SO-DIMMs, and do I need tools or extra parts?

The box contains only the two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM modules; no heat spreaders, screws or tools are supplied, and the MacBook Pro uses a tool-free memory door for installation.
