16GB DDR3 Kit for Mac Mini 2.3GHz

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Mac Mini 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 (MC815LL/A). It targets owners of that specific model who need the full 16GB capacity for smoother multitasking and heavier workloads.

Unbuffered 204-pin modules at 1.5V

Each stick is a 204-pin unbuffered SO-DIMM running at 1.5V with CL9 9-9-9 timing and no heat spreader. The low-profile design fits the Mini’s tight internal slots, and the matched pair enables dual-channel operation without any configuration changes.

Replaces the stock 4GB or 8GB factory memory

The Mac Mini 2.3GHz supports up to 32GB across four sockets, so this 16GB kit leaves room for a future 16GB addition. It is not for users who need ECC, registered modules, or speeds beyond DDR3 1333MHz, nor for any system outside the named model.
