has anyone tried installing some kingston hyperx memory into the 27" imac?

im curious if the modules phisically fit into the memory compartment considering the have a bigger size because of the heatsinks.

thanks

I wouldn't even consider trying to put them in there. Even if they did fit, having a bigger heatsink means they are taking more space than intended, and these iMacs are VERY tight quarters and you could actually be blocking airflow, negating the point of those heatsinks.


Standing request for all troubleshooting: Please provide your Mac model/year and OS version. Also advise us if you have used or installed any antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software on your Mac. If you have installed MacKeeper in particular, you are hereby advised to uninstall it.
