Compatibility issues with iMAC Retina 5K 2017 3.4GHz fixed by Timetec

Update 03/17/19 Timetec agreed that I had a defective memory stick and they replaced it with no problems. Replaced quickly, no problems so far. iMAC works well with 32GB of RAM. Thanks Timetek Initial memory scan causes constant kernel panic attacks, unexpected computer shutdown or restart. I have tried this memory with and without standard memory and in different slot combinations. Every time I encounter unexpected system shutdown and 3 disk corruption events which result in full drive wipe…

Cheap memory. Works well.

This was the cheapest 16GB DDR4 RAM I could find for the new Intel NUC desktop mini. I usually buy RAM by spec first and then by price. Even if cheap RAM doesn't work, it won't mess things up. The description of this Hynix RAM says it's made for Apple, but it will work on any PC that requires DDR4 laptop memory. I used it in a new Intel NUC with an i7 processor. That's great memory. Don't be put off by the description that says it's for Apple. The first set of Hynix modules I received had…

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • Not the best

Best Value for 27 " iMac Upgrade

If you're buying a 27" iMac, don't worry about Apple's expensive memory upgrade options. With this Timetec memory kit, you get twice the storage (32GB vs. 16GB) for a few dollars compared to Apple's price. They're also cheaper than Mac-focused stores and providers. The memory slots directly into the slots above the power connector (make sure you align the tabs correctly). Once enabled, you'll see fewer disk writes and smoother performance. One thing that isn't obvious is that you can keep the…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • No Color Required

FULL SATISFACTION!

The best product and best value was sent to me quickly and I quickly installed another 32 gigabytes of RAM with no problems. So easy to install in My IMAC 2017 Retina. The launch happened right after the installation and everything runs at a high and fast level. What a big difference, I'm so happy. I struggled with 8 gigabytes of RAM for a year. Never. Added two 16s to empty slots and updated immediately.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Great upgrade for the price

Our 2017 iMac Retina 5K 27-inch 3.4GHz i5 originally came with 8GB of RAM and was advertised as user-configurable with 16GB or 32GB according to Apple. Well, those 8GB really aren't enough to run multiple memory-hungry programs at the same time. Performance is sluggish and sometimes even problematic. In the end, after 5 years, I decided not to upgrade to 32GB as Apple claims that's the upper limit, but to the full 64GB. This kit met the specs and had good reviews, so I ordered it. Installing 4…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Not compatible with 2017 27 iMac with Retina display

I bought this item because the description said it was compatible with my machine. I installed it which was very easy. From day one iMac started freezing. Yes, only at night when I'm sleeping. Within a week it started crashing during the day while I was working on the computer and it was causing a lot of delays in my workflow. I had to go back. I will buy another brand. Although this brand claims to be compatible with the Mid 2017 27" iMac with Retina display, IT IS NOT! DO NOT buy if you have…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • sad packaging

Timetec RAM and IMAC errors - fixed with new Timetec storage

Update - 07/22/2020 Timetec has emailed back to my email support request. They offered to replace the RAM for free. It was 9 months old. They provided a free shipping label and I sent the product back. They sent back a free replacement memory in a timely manner. tracking information sent. I easily installed the new Timetec 2 - 16GB memory cards and didn't have to switch slots like I did with the previously supplied RAM. My iMac recognized the new RAM with no problems. I have now installed 40 GB

Pros
  • Very Impressive
Cons
  • Modern
