Does 2013 iMac have 64GB capability?

[levmc]

"The 2017 model officially supports 64GB of RAM, whereas the 2015 only offered up to 32GB. Aftermarket parts makers found the machine worked just fine with 64GB, but the option was never offered by Apple."

I checked with my memory supplier and they show up to 32GB for the 2013 iMac.

Did you try putting in 64 gb?

The max RAM depends on the size of the iMac but it looks like none of the 2013s can recognize 64GB.

Thanks.

It looks like iMac 27'' could have 64 GB starting from late 2015.

Spreading the word, I got higher than 32gb working installed on my 2013 27in.

With Catalina it will probably work on 2013-2015 Imac's

iMac 27-Inch "Core i7" 3.5 Late 2013 Max RAM is higher than 32gb

My wife has had a "Late 2013 27in Imac" for 6 years and does print design on it 24/7. It's been getting long in the tooth and I've upgraded it over the years with an SSD and added 32gb of ram a few years ago which it regularly maxes out through Photoshop. We were debating getting something new...

I saw the thread. Did you almost brick the iMac and had to pull out the extra RAMs?

I had to pull them but my IMac is fine, it could recognize the amount but didn't work well after a few hours. 2014/2015 would be the next one to test since the CPU are more recent, I think Intel has done some microcode updates that may make it work. Plus I never tried Windows 10. There's some stuff to be explored still.
