16GB DDR3 SO-DIMM kit for 21.5-inch 2011 iMac

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple iMac "Core i7" 2.8 21.5-Inch (Mid-2011). The 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC sticks run at 1.5V with CL9 9-9-9 timing. It is a direct memory upgrade for that specific all-in-one desktop.

Sustained-load behaviour with major-brand chips

Major-brand chipsets on each module maintain stable DDR3 1333 operation during extended workloads. The 2Rx8 organisation and standard voltage keep timings consistent without thermal throttling. Unbuffered layout avoids extra latency that registered designs add under continuous memory pressure.

Two-slot limit decides fit for 32GB maximum

The iMac model accepts four SO-DIMM sockets with a 32GB ceiling, so this 16GB two-stick kit leaves two slots open for a later matched pair. Buyers who need the full 32GB immediately must source two additional 8GB modules of the same specification.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 8 GB sticks draw at the rated 1.5 V?

Each module runs at 1.5 V, so the pair draws the standard DDR3 SO-DIMM power for that voltage without extra cooling.

Does my Mid-2011 iMac need all four slots filled to use this 2 x 8 GB kit?

The kit occupies two of the four slots, leaving the other two free for future expansion up to the 32 GB maximum.

Will these CL9 1333 MHz modules slow down if I keep the original 1333 MHz sticks in the other slots?

All installed DDR3 1333 MHz memory runs at the same speed and timings, so mixing old and new modules does not reduce performance.
