32GB DDR3L kit for Late 2012 iMac

This 32GB kit contains four 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz SODIMM modules built for the Apple iMac Core i5 3.2 27-Inch Late 2012 MD096LL/A. It fills all four memory slots with unbuffered non-ECC memory running at 1.35V. The CL11 11-11-11 timing matches the system specification.

Sustained load behaviour

The modules operate at the standard DDR3L 1600 speed with major-brand chips and no heat spreader. Under continuous workloads they maintain the rated 1.35V voltage and CL11 latency without throttling. The 2Rx8 rank organisation supports the full 32GB capacity recognised by the iMac.

Installation notes

Installation requires opening the iMac memory compartment and inserting all four 204-pin SODIMM sticks into the available slots. The kit is guaranteed compatible with the listed model so recognition issues are unlikely. Buyers who need ECC memory or a different voltage cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

How much power does each 1.35V DDR3L module draw when the iMac runs all day?

These DDR3L SODIMMs operate at 1.35V, lower than standard DDR3, reducing power draw and heat during continuous use in the 27-inch iMac.

Does the late 2012 iMac need all four slots filled for this 32GB kit to work?

The kit contains four 8GB modules matching the iMac's four SODIMM slots; filling all slots reaches the 32GB maximum the system supports.

Will the CL11 1600MHz timing match the memory already installed in the 2012 iMac?

The modules run at DDR3L 1600MHz with CL11 11-11-11 timing, the speed grade Apple specified for this iMac model.
