Target System

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple iMac 27-inch Mid-2010 with a 2.8 GHz Core i5 processor. It runs at DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) with CL9 timing at 1.5 V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original specification for that model.

Compatibility Fit

The kit suits owners of the specified 2010 iMac who want the maximum supported memory in a matched pair. It will not work in systems that require ECC, registered modules, a different pin count, or a later DDR generation. Buyers with other Mac models or PC laptops should verify their exact requirements first.

Deciding Specification

The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor at 1333 MHz determines whether this upgrade fits. Only the Mid-2010 27-inch iMac taking PC3 10600 unbuffered non-ECC memory can use these two 8 GB sticks together.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16GB kit or a smaller capacity for my 2010 iMac?

The 16GB kit (2 x 8GB) fills both slots in the Mid-2010 27-inch iMac, matching the model's maximum supported memory for full performance.

What does the 1333 MHz rating deliver once installed in this iMac?

At 1333 MHz (PC3-10600) the modules run at the iMac's native bus speed, giving the rated bandwidth and CL9 latency without downclocking.

Is the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface the limiting factor for speed?

Yes, the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor caps the upgrade at 1333 MHz; faster DDR3 modules would simply run at this speed.
