16GB DDR3 kit for 2010 iMac 27

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple iMac "Core i5" 3.6 27-Inch (Mid-2010). Each stick uses a 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design running at 1.5V with CL9 9-9-9 timings. The kit targets owners of this specific iMac model who want to increase installed memory.

Check iMac model and slot count before ordering

Verify that your system is the 27-inch Mid-2010 iMac identified as iMac11,3 or A1312 with a 3.6 GHz Core i5 processor. The machine must accept 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM modules and have free slots for the two sticks supplied. This memory is not compatible with other iMac sizes, years, or desktop DIMM form factors.

Upgrades from lower-capacity DDR3 SO-DIMM kits

The iMac supports a maximum of 32GB across four sockets, so this 16GB kit fills half the total capacity. It replaces any existing 2GB or 4GB DDR3 1333MHz modules to raise the usable memory for multitasking and larger workloads. The jump is worth it when the current amount limits the applications you run on this 2010 platform.

Questions about this item

Does the 16GB kit include both 8GB SO-DIMMs or do I need to buy a second stick?

The kit contains two 8GB modules, giving 16GB total in one package.

My iMac 27" 3.6 2010 has four slots — should I fill all four with 8GB sticks or start with this 2x8GB kit?

The system supports up to 32GB across four sockets; this 2x8GB kit occupies two slots and leaves two free for future expansion.

Will the 1333MHz rating actually run at 1333MHz once installed in the Mid-2010 iMac?

The iMac's memory controller operates at 1333MHz, so the modules will run at their rated DDR3 1333 speed without downclocking.
