Hi Folks,
Just curious if anyone here has attempted to "hack" their 1st gen 5k iMac with 64 GB of Ram? (iMac15,1)
I am fully aware that *officially* this model only supports 32 GB ram. However I am wondering if anyone has attempted to install 64 GB to find out if this is a real limitation or a marketing limitation? I'd like to give it a go, but haven't found any documentation online of any previous attempts to make this work.
Cheers!
PS. Looking at getting 2 of these kits to try: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011ISG132/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_B5OAzbTSN0NM9
204 pin DDR3L SO-DIMM. Dual voltage and can operate at 1.35V. So I believe this should fit and work! Barring any software blocks......
