Targeted Apple iMac 27 upgrade

This 8GB kit (2 x 4GB) is built for the Apple iMac 27 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MB952LL/A. It uses 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1066MHz PC3-8500 with CL7 timing. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original specification for this system.

Sustained workload behaviour

Running at 1.5V with 7-7-7 timings, the modules deliver consistent bandwidth for everyday multitasking and older creative applications. The 2Rx8 organisation supports the iMac's four-slot architecture up to the 16GB maximum. No heat spreader is fitted, so airflow in the slim chassis handles thermal load.

Straightforward installation

The SO-DIMM form factor slides into the bottom access door without tools. Buyers who want more storage or a different memory generation will find this kit unsuitable. Verify the exact model identifier before ordering, as similar iMac revisions use different DDR speeds.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 1.5 V DDR3 1066 kit draw under sustained load?

Each module runs at 1.5 V, the standard voltage for DDR3 1066 SO-DIMMs, keeping power draw low during all-day operation.

Which iMac model and slot count does this 2 x 4 GB kit match?

Designed for the Apple iMac 27 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo MB952LL/A, which has four SO-DIMM sockets and supports up to 16 GB total.

Will these CL7 1066 MHz sticks work with the original 1066 MHz modules already in the iMac?

Yes, they share the same 1066 MHz speed and CL7 timing, so the system will run all modules at the common 1066 MHz rate.
