Ordered my Crucial kit and my new iMac arrived today. Installed the new cards (2x8GB DDR3l) and got the dreaded BEEP*BEEP*BEEP

After changing the order and using various combinations, I've sent it back to Amazon and they are rushing me out a new shipment. I will give an update shortly. I'm sure it is just defective and the new cards will work just fine however, this is what I purchased...

Interesting. I'm waiting for my iMac and I've purchased two of these kit to get 32GB RAM total so I do hope it's not a complex issue and just, unfortunately, a few defective pieces. Good luck and please keep us posted how the new ones work for you. Thanks.

Yeah, I think I just got a bit of bad luck with my order but hey, better the RAM upgrade than a faulty screen. Amazon will have it shipped and at my door by 8pm tmw. Almost a 24 hour turn around from when I first noticed the problem. I'm impressed with their service.
 
Long time Mac user here and I've been using Crucial for as long as I can remember. I've never had bad RAM from them. On a few occasions over the years I did use 1-800-4-Memory instead b/c they had great deals, but 90% of my RAM purchases for Macs have been Crucial. And we usually upgrade our two Macs every year and a half or so.

That being said, I just installed two sticks of 8GB RAM from Crucial in my new 27" iMac today and they are working fine. It stinks that you maybe got a bad set but typically anything from Crucial is great.
