16GB DDR3L SODIMM kit

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB modules built to the DDR3L 1600 standard. They are unbuffered, non-ECC SO-DIMMs with 204 pins and a CAS latency of CL11. The operating voltage is 1.35V and the modules use a 2Rx8 rank configuration.

Mac Mini Late 1012 owners

The kit is specified for the Apple Mac Mini with a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 from Late 1012, model MD387B/A. That system accepts a maximum of 16GB across two sockets, so this kit fills both slots. Buyers whose Mac Mini uses a different year or processor should verify compatibility before purchasing.

DDR3L 1600 speed grade

The memory runs at DDR3L 1600, also labelled PC3L 12800. This speed grade is the single specification that determines whether the modules will operate correctly in the target Mac Mini. If the system requires a different DDR generation or speed, the kit will not be suitable.

Questions about this item

Does this kit run at the DDR3L 1600 PC3L 12800 standard and what speed does it deliver?

Yes, the modules are DDR3L 1600 rated at PC3L 12800 and operate at 1600 MHz with CL11 11-11-11 timing at 1.35 V.

Will these 204 pin SO DIMM sticks fit the two slots in the Mac Mini Late 1012?

The kit contains two 8 GB 204 pin SO DIMM sticks, matching the Mac Mini Late 1012 which has two sockets and a maximum of 8 GB per socket.

How do I install the memory in the Mac Mini Late 1012 and what step is often missed?

Remove the bottom cover, release the clips on both slots, insert each module at an angle until the gold contacts disappear, then press down firmly until the clips snap — the step people skip is pressing hard enough to fully seat both sides.
