System-specific kit for 2013 iMac

This 8 GB kit (2 × 4 GB) is built for the 27-inch Late 2013 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Core i5 (model ME089LL/A, iMac14,2). It uses 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM modules running at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.35 V unbuffered, non-ECC operation.

Capacity and headroom

The iMac accepts up to 32 GB across four slots; this kit fills two slots with 8 GB total. It handles everyday macOS workloads and moderate multitasking, but memory-intensive tasks such as large video timelines or virtual machines will exhaust the 8 GB ceiling.

DDR3L 1600 interface limits

The DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) interface caps bandwidth at the JEDEC 1600 MT/s rate. Modules are single-rank 1Rx8 with 11-11-11 timings and no heat spreader, so sustained heavy loads run at standard voltage without extra cooling headroom.
