Retina iMac: Will 1.5V RAM work?

[apfelmann]

Hi Mac-Friends,
I searched around, but didn't find a clear answer to this.

I already have 8GB of 1.5V RAM at home (Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM)

Will it harm my soon to be delivered imac if I try if this 1.5V RAM works properly?

Greetings from Austria!

Will keep you updated, installing 16gb of 1.5v ram (from a 2012 imac, that DID NOT work in a 2013 imac) in my 5k imac

So my ram (G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ) works when its the only sticks in the machine. Did NOT boot up (constant beeping) when it was mixed with the 8gb that apple ships with.

At this time no crashing/kernel panics, will have to give it alot more testing though to see if its safe to keep in here.

Thanks!
I want to mix with the installed, so I'll have to sell my 1.5V RAM and buy a new 1.35V RAM ...

Who Knows?

Im planning on buying these.

4x8GB
DDR3L-2133MHZ (PC3-17000)
DDR3-2133MHZ CL11-12-13 @1.35V or 1.5V

Anyone knows if they will work?

No one ever tried RAM more than 1600MHZ on a iMac?

Been 2 days now, pretty solid (would have had 50000 kernel panics on the 2013 imac by now). Thank god, saved me some money
