Tailored for Late 2013 iMac 27

This 16GB kit uses two 8GB DDR3L SODIMM modules rated at 1600MHz with CL11 timing. It is built for the Apple iMac "Core i5" 3.2 27-Inch (Late 2013) ME088LL/A and matches the factory voltage of 1.35V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design fits the system's two available slots directly.

DDR3L 1600 speed ceiling

The memory operates at PC3L 12800 bandwidth, which is the maximum data rate the Late 2013 iMac memory controller supports. Installing faster DDR3L modules will not increase throughput because the platform caps transfer speed at 1600MHz. Total system capacity stops at 32GB across four sockets.

Low-profile SODIMM format

Each stick uses a standard 204-pin edge connector without a heat spreader, allowing it to sit flush inside the tight iMac memory bay. The 2Rx8 rank organisation is recognised by the firmware without configuration. Buyers needing ECC error correction or registered buffering for server workloads cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB kit or upgrade to the maximum 32GB for my iMac?

The kit provides 16GB in two 8GB modules; your iMac supports up to 32GB across four slots, so you can add another identical kit later if you need the full capacity.

What does the 1600MHz speed mean once installed in the iMac?

The modules run at DDR3L 1600 with CL11 timing at 1.35V, delivering PC3L 12800 bandwidth for the memory controller in your Late 2013 iMac.

Is the 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM interface the right fit for my iMac?

Yes, the 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM form factor matches the memory slots in the iMac 27-inch Late 2013 (ME088LL/A, iMac14,2, A1419).
