2133mhz Ram Test Results

[Alesc]

And this is why I've mentioned: the "System Report" on mac shows them in the memory list with DIMM1 as DDR3 1600 and DIMM2 as 1333; even though they can't be running at those speeds.
Hence my distrust on what it displays there is meaningless when it comes to determining what speed the DIMMs actually run at.

I don't talk about "System report", I talk about CPU-Z, a software who reports instant frequencies of your machine.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
And CPU-Z reports the same frequencies than the system info on Mac OS (and in "About my Mac", on the "Memory" section, I can only see one frequency: the good one).

The memory modules actually run at their speed (I've seen 1867 and 2133 modules running at the proper frequencies on recent iMacs).

Here is the screenshot of this software found on the net. I will post mine tonight, with the same proper frequency (about 933MHz -1866/2) on a Mac that is supposed (Intel and Apple specs) to only support 1600MHz (800 would be displayed on CPU-Z in that case).

And it is a "live" measure: 932,2MHz is a precise and instant measure, not just a spec red on the RAM

Now $1200 for 64GB is not reasonable.

Agreed, however 64GB of ram sounds useful to me. Has anyone here installed OWC's 64GB upgrade?

I was told 64gb would not be faster than 32gb, it would just keep you running longer before your memory filled up. So I passed on owc 's kit and went with 2133 memory

I haven't seen anyone say they have ordered it. My guess is that it is too expensive. OWC is charging right in line with Apple

Apple 32GB = $600
OWC 64GB = $1,200

I guess they figure if you are willing to pay apple's markup $1,200 isn't bad.

Which 2133's did you go with in the end?

Just wondering do you guys think these will go with the iMac?

No, those are DIMM modules. You need SODIMM

Anyone try the GSkill RipJaws? Seems to have a little tighter CAS 11 timing.

The Kingston. I ordered from newegg. I paid to overnight them and it seems as if they came directly from Kingston

I went with...

4 x Kingston Technology HyperX Impact Black 8GB 2133MHz DDR3L 1.35V Laptop Memory (HX321LS11IB2/8)

Anyone use G.SKILL? Thinking of these, per the discussion so far:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231760

5 eggs, quite a few commenters using them in Alienware rigs.

I haven't tried them but I don't think anyone has reported any DDR3L 1.35v 1600-2133mhz memory that hasn't worked. I'd give it a try.

The fastest you can find on the market in SODIMM: latency 11-11-11-31 vs 11-12-13-?? for the 2133MHz Kingston.

Been looking at maxing out the RAM on the new iMac's, but Crucial (who are the main guys I go to), don't appear to have any listed for the Late 2015 iMac and can't find any others here in the UK, as not really sure what to look for in terms of specs - until I came across this thread

Can anyone confirm that the Kingston one's mentioned above are these one's from the Amazon UK site please?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Hy...sp0Lp8L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160,160_

I am planning to order 2 packs of these for delivery tomorrow to max out the iMac

TIA.

Yeah, I couldn't find the timing for the Kingston/HyperX HX321LS11IBK2/8, just the CAS latency. They also have no ratings on Newegg and aren't Amazon Prime.

The Kingston HyperX is DDR3-2133 CL11-11-11 @1.35V or 1.5V

OK, my bad.
But be careful when you buy it, there is another Kingston module which is CL11-12-13

Woops, OK now I'm confused. I just looked at my invoice and it looks like I've ordered the CL11-12-13 version. Is it really much of a difference?

No, I don't think so; even in memory benchmarks there won't be any difference

Unlikely you will notice.

@ericv just up this page you said it was the hyperx HX321LS11IB2/8 you got, right? that seems to be 11-12-13 from the kingston website. the 11-11-11 stuff is the HX321LS11IBK2/8 (extra K in the name) which seems to be discontinued for some reason. just 100% checking which one you bought before I spend.

These are CL 11-11-11-27 which would be faster than the Gskill?

 

[ohsnaphappy]

Just an update. I've finished two nights in post-production with the 2133mhz without any issues. So there's no doubt the Kingston hyperx is stable enough for professional work.

Need some more time with the iMac before I write a review.

Yeah, have to agree. My hyperX 2133mhz ram is stable also.
