wondering if THESE Sticks are compatible with the late 2013?

Some mixed reviews on the Crucial sticks have got me wanting to avoid them this gen.

It's cool if nobody has tried them yet, I may try them in a couple of weeks and report. I do like that they run at 1.35v and are CL9 which = faster ram.

Any thoughts? I hope they fit just right unlike the Crucial ones.

Unfortunately Kingston has a history of failing with iMacs, I'd recommend using Crucial or OWC. If you are in North America, go OWC anywhere else try Crucial.
