Late 2012 27inch iMac - Upgrading RAM - is 16GB the maximum?

[stellarechoes]

Hi there,

I'm looking at upgrading my iMac's RAM (27 inch, Late 2012, 8GB). I just checked on Crucial and it is saying I can upgrade it to 16GB, but my iMac has four slots, so why is 32GB not being offered as an option?

Any advice, as always, greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know for sure obviously but I've heard that you can upgrade beyond that limit. I'm going to be doing it with my iMac 21 inch late 2011 model. Once I do I'll confirm on here.

Mine's got 32GB RAM.

And, for what it's worth, OWC shows them as capable of up to 32GB: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L

32 GB is the maximum supported. Actually, the Crucial site shows a 16 GB Kit (8GB x 2) .

I've the same as Proteus Zero, with a 3 TB Fusion drive (replaced with the Seagate Apple recall).

I ordered two 16 GB kits the moment I finished placing the order for this late 2012 unit. They got installed before it ever saw the power cord when it was new.
