Crucial RAM late 2015 iMac

[The Doctor11]

Hello,
I'm probably going to buy the RAM in the links at the bottom of this post. Before I do I'm just curious if anyone has bought this RAM and put it in the late 2015 iMac. I'm just looking to see if it works with it really.

All help is appreciated.

Dude you'd be retarded to buy the 16 gig kit that contains two 8 gigs when you can get two 8 gigs individually for 40 bucks less. BTW I ordered those exact ones yesterday when the 8 gig sticks were 44.99. Do NOT buy any of it now, check in once a day the next week and let the price drop again bud.

But yes, it will work perfectly for ya. There's another reviewer here and that ram actually will be a bit faster than the stock apple ram. Great choice, just wait.

Thank you.

And the one from B&H photo is only $88 for the 16 GB kit so that'd be cheaper than 2 8 GB sticks from Amazon.

Why don't you get the 2133 speed Balistix or HyperX? It will run at the faster speeds. Only a little bit more expensive.

Well I'm only looking to make an addition to my 8 GB of stock RAM, and from what I've heard it'll only run at the slowest speed of RAM in the computer.

I've heard if you mix the stock memory with other 1866 MHz memory, the final speed could be even lower (e.g., 1600 MHz). This depends on the CAS Latency of the added memory.
Does anyone know if the Ballistix work with the stock memory at 1866MHz?

Here's what I put in my late 2015 27" last night, works perfectly. I purchased 2 sets of 8X2 for a total of 32 GB RAM:

The price has gone up slightly, I paid $202 for two sets of 8X2, so you might want to price watch it and see if it drops any. But the RAM works great, able to run multiple VMs without any issues at all.

i have the crucial one you listed, but i bought from newegg.ca, its much cheaper , $119.00 for 16 GB

i have the i5,512,395x config, my ram is now 24gb

This is the upgrade I bought, but it was only $88 when I bought it:

Took me all of 3 minutes to install it alongside the stock 2x4GB chips from Apple. Now I have 24GB running at the stock 1867 Mhz speed. I had no need for faster RAM, especially since I mixed it with Apple's RAM.

Yeah, this is a good choice for mixing with Apple RAM. I originally ordered this RAM, but it was backordered, so I canceled and ordered this instead. Unfortunately the RAM I got has lower CAS latency (CL11), which forces everything to drop to 1600 MHz when paired with the Apple RAM. Maybe should have stuck with the Crucial CL13 like you.

Is your ram running at 1867MHz or 1600MHz?

when i check system report it says all banks are running at 1867mhz status OK

its back in stock at newegg
