I RETURNED THEM ON INSIDE

These 10600 chips were specified to run in a compatible iMac (Mid 2011). However, when I installed them, the iMac would turn on and off immediately. No bad ram sounds. Nothing, just switched off. It scared me! I uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again. The same thing. I pulled them out and booted into the original memory. worked fine So it's obvious that their specs don't live up to Apple's fairly strict RAM standards. I checked the chips on another computer (Macbook Pro) and it booted fine. I ended up sending those chips back. I've found that buying anything other than OWC or Crucial RAM for Macs (both always work) is a real hit or miss when trying to get chips from Revain.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
