Easy to install, one caution!

Very easy installation. One caveat: Install the new RAM where the old Apple RAM was, and install the old Apple RAM in the new slots. I reversed it on my new 2019 iMac and had weird freezing errors for a while but after reversing them it wasn't an issue anymore.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Secret

Easy Install on 2019 iMac

I just opened the back of my new 2019 iMac 5K and put it in place. Make sure the slots they go into are staggered, so either 1 and 3 or 2 and 4, then fill the other staggered slots with your existing RAM (if you have them). I turned on the computer for the first time and it recognized the memory and gave me 40GB, including the 8GB that came with the computer. Good stuff!

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Compatibility

Huge Savings on Apple Storage Prices!

I recently bought a 27" iMac and was dying to have it with at least 32GB of RAM for Lightroom and Photoshop CC. Apple charges an additional $500 to upgrade an iMac from 8GB to 32GB GB, and the standard iMac upgrade delays the ship date.So I ordered a standard 8GB preconfigured iMac and ordered an additional 32GB from OWC.It only takes 10 minutes to install RAM and my iMac is now 40GB. (8GB from Apple + 32GB from OWC) and I saved $300 compared to Apple's price for 32GB RAM!

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Almost everything

Start in top slot and work down Install in this order Slot 1: 4GB Apple Slot 2: 16GB OWC Slot 3 4GB Apple Slot 4: 16GB OWC This worked for me! If everything is done correctly, your iMac will boot with no problems. Go to About This Mac, Storage. At the top you should see two 16GB slots. This also worked for me. Tried the reverse and got a prohibition sign on boot. Please see the pictures , if…

WILL NOT WORK IN 2019 iMAC 27 " 3.0GHz i5

I removed the two standard 4GB RAM sticks in my new 2019 iMac 3.0GHz i5 and through two 16GB sticks each replaced by OWC, follow online instructions (it's not difficult but you need to know what you're doing) The computer wouldn't start I've tried different methods (e.g. different slots ). Nothing changed. I called Apple, they offered to reset Apple and try new RAM again the next day to let the computer get used to its original memory (okay). Day I tried again, OWC RAM to install. Again it…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Anything I can add

The OWC RAM was dead on arrival but then.

Four sticks of 16GB RAM arrived at the nearest Revain locker and I was so excited to see what my new 27" iMac with 64GB RAM would do for about 1/3 the price of Apple OEM RAM would do. But my excitement quickly turned to frustration when the iMac wouldn't boot up with the new RAM. I was ready to set up a return with Revain but decided to call OWC tech support first. After a short wait, Darrin took my call. "He said he was in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and I was grateful for the support ON…
