Mac Mini 2011 upgrade kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple Mac Mini Core i5 2.5 Mid-2011. The 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC sticks run at 1.5 V with CL9 9-9-9 timing and use major-brand DRAM chips. Computer Memory Solutions guarantees compatibility with the listed system.

Two-slot installation

The Mac Mini has two memory slots so the pair fills the machine completely and leaves no empty sockets. No heat spreaders are fitted allowing the modules to sit in the tight factory spacing without clearance issues. Installation requires only a screwdriver to open the bottom cover and swap the original sticks.

Standard voltage operation

At the specified 1.5 V the modules draw normal DDR3 power and produce no more heat than the original Apple memory. The Mid-2011 chassis and fan curve handle this thermal load without extra noise. No additional cooling or firmware changes are needed beyond the OS X 10.7.5 and EFI updates mentioned in the compatibility notes.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 GB kit run reliably at 1333 MHz without overheating?

The modules operate at 1.5 V with no heat spreader, so sustained use stays within standard DDR3 thermal limits for the Mac Mini chassis.

How loud does the Mac Mini fan get when both 8 GB sticks are fully loaded all day?

The memory itself is silent; any fan noise comes from the Mac Mini cooling system responding to CPU load, not the RAM.

Does my Mac Mini need a specific EFI version before I install these two 8 GB modules?

Yes — OS X 10.7.5 or later with the latest EFI update is required for the Mid-2011 model to recognise the full 16 GB.
