128GB of ram, now i can open 2 tabs in chrome without any problem.
You mean 128 Tabs without problems
who want to use chrome?
Lmfao!!
hahaha nice one!
Juan Sebastian Garcia 😂 this
You are the first guy I have seen to go all the way and max out the memory. Everyone else is putting in 32 gb.
Thanks for showing this and I re-posted it on my blogs & forum.
Thanks for the tutorial! One thing I just learned: If you try to combine the original RAM that apple already had in the computer with the new ones you just bought, it will not work (example: If you bought crucial memory card, the other ram cards has to be crucial cards. If they are apple RAM cards, then the other has to be Apple cards not Crucial). All of the ram has to match with their brand. I bought 2- 16GB of ram for my mac thinking it would work with the apple RAM but it did not. So, definitely keep that in mind when buying RAM!
Hi Kristen. I've just stuck 16 gig RAM from Crucial into my new 27" iMac and left the Apple 8 gig RAM in 2 slots (2 x 4 gig) and it worked a treat. 24 gig RAM in total and no issues whatsoever combining the original Apple with Crucial.
You can mix brands with no problem! Apple can be mean, but not that mean. lol.
It will work. Just leave the original ones to their original slots and install the new ones on the vacant slot. (slot 1&3 ; slot 2&4).
Probably you don't get max 2666MHz speed if you leave the original RAMs in slot 1& 3 and install a new pair in slot 2&4. If you install the original RAMs in slot 1&2 and the new pair in slot 3&4, you probably get max 2666MHz speed, but then dual-channel would be tuned off...
I followed the super-easy instructions in this video...installed 64GB of RAM. I previously was editing footage with 8GB, and it was getting so laggy, on big projects. This upgrade has made a world of difference in my editing speed...and for a very competitive price.
Great investment. Thank you for making this video!!
Hey, I have the same model and I’m now getting frustrated using final cut and after about an hour I get a ram is almost filled up notification by clean my Mac every 20 seconds. Did you notice any problems after you added the new modules? Did you mix match? And last question, where exactly did you buy the modules from? Thank you 🙏
Thanks for posting. I just finished installing 32 GB of RAM on my new iMac. Did it right after unboxing.
Just used your video to install new memory on my 2017 iMac - this was super helpful for a non-tech guy like me! Thanks
Yes please review, I've been waiting on the reviews before taking the plunge, really considering getting one for video editing.
This tutorial is the prototype for how tutorials should be produced and presented. Great job and many thanks.
Thanks for the instructional video. I’ve did this upgrade with third party RAM for my 2007, 24” iMac and our 2009 Mini. Much cheeper. Plan on doing the same thing when/if I upgrade.
Thank you! Just installed my upgrade by following the video step by step. Very clear instructions. Video was sharp and on point. Job very well done!
Thanks. Very helpful. I have 16gb and got a shock when I got the “Your system has run out of memory” alert. Not a good start after 7 trouble free years with the ild iMac. Shall upgrade now that I’ve watched you video.
Great tutorial! Thank you. I was a little confused whether I take off the stickers on the ram but then I saw “removal voids warranty” .. Great video! Thanks!!
Thank you sir.. I took your advice and bought my own RAM. Saved a ton!👍
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the info and the great video. Nice job.
Just about to stick in 16 more gig, to upgrade my iMac 27" to 24 gig RAM. Thanks for a very helpful tutorial.
you turned it on for the 1st time, and yet your ID/login was already there :P good vid tho
I thought I was the only one who noticed that.....
I thought the same thing
Great video! Yes, I like to see a review of the 2019 iMac. Also, I really appreciate your family friendly channel!
that was super easy , I just purchased the 27” iMac , i9 processor, 1 tb ssd and just added 32 gb ram to the stock 8 for 40gb total and saved $475 over Apples price , Thank you 🙏
Apples prices are higher than my confidence in humanity. XD
😭🤣😂😂
Nice job! Thanks! My machine arrives today (maybe tomorrow), and I have 64 GB of OWC ready to go in!
Thank you for this. I did this straight out of the box and only got a black screen when trying to start it. Once I took the RAM back out and booted back up I was then able to install the new RAM with no issues
Just got mine set up!
Thanks for telling me about this!
Thank you, Im a retired Firemen and try to get the best out of my iMac 27. I had 8 Gig and went to 32. Hoping for faster rendering for my Sony 3 Chip camera. Love the vid. Subscribed.
Great video. I’m contemplating moving to Mac from windows and it was the price of memory giving me some doubt. However, not a problem now. Thank you.
Just upgraded mine to 64 gigs of RAM!
I will have no issues running Spotify final cut pro X Lightroom and Photoshop and TH-cam at the same time 👌🏾
thank you for the video I followed every step of the way and it works perfectly and I bought the ram slots you recommended
Hey buddy, how did it go? did you notice significant improvement?
I can't believe how easy that was. Thanks so much for this - I now have 64GB of RAM from 8.
Thanks for this. I went ahead and upgraded my mac this morning following your video and I'm really glad I watched it. Things didn't quite go to plan - on restart I just got a blank screen and some really loud beeping noises, at which point, I'm not gonna lie - I freaked out a little! Had I broken it?? Having your soothing confident voice was my saviour, I just took it apart and started again. Some of the help forums suggested doing a PRAM restart at the same time so I did exactly that and all was well! Thank goodness I had your video - it reassured me that I HAD done it correctly and it just needed a PRAM reset to work.
@@georgegray2712 you shut down your mac and on start up hold down command, option, P +R keep holding until you hear the start up chime twice, then you can let go.
Thanks for the video Jeff. I have the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) with 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I have recently started editing videos with DaVinci Resolve 15. I hope OWC can help with RAM for my machine.
*Turns on iMac for the “first time”
iMac “that’s never been turn on before”
- Hi Jeff :D
we saw that too lmao
I was like WTF?
Ty for all your hard work and content contributions.
Interesting and detailed upgrade information - as a novice it gives me all the information I need very clearly and simply - thanks
Huge thanks your way! I’m a bit of a dunce when it comes to technology, and I get very intimidated. This video gave me the security to know that OWC was a legit source for ram, that thhe mac would take 128k, and that I could do this myself. I followed the steps, and I now have 128k.
Gracias!
Thank you for this useful video. I was told I needed an upgrade but someone else told me just to add memory (my desktop is a few years old).
Thanks for this video! Very clear and very helpful. Subscribed etc. Best, Nick
I rememeber wanting to upgrade our 2009 imac, back when you had the slot, apple were selling the ram for $200 or so for 8gb, or you could just go to your local pc store and get 8gb for $50
Thank you, I did not know and only got the 32GB. So easy and clear video 😉
Person: Sooo, what are you gonna do with all that ram?
9to5mac: Flex it.
Awesome video! Thank you for the tips
Yo Jeff! You the homie! Dope video again bro 🙏🏽
Great video @9to5Mac!!! So informative, and definitely clarified a lot. Now just wondering- is it also this simple to add more ram down the line once computer is set up and used ? Or does it get more complicated
Looks fairly straightforward, many thanks
Excellent and well explained thank you !
Added the 64 gbs to my imac thanks to this vid!!! Thanks man!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS LIFESAVING VIDEO!
Excellent JOB !
Nice Video..
Thanks so much. Waiting for UPS to deliver 64 gigs of ram. Just watched your video so I'm ready.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Yes, would def like to see a review
Just purchased a new 2019 iMac and finding it to be running multiple programs on the slower side - just placed a RAM order from OWC, sick video. Thank you!
Is yours a 27"?
Did it get faster with more Ram?
Hi Brittany. What has your experience been with your upgrade?
TYTYTY I just did it and it worked fabulously!! Thanks so much for helping!
After installing, did not appear to be faster, but went with it. A couple of days later, it wanted to spool into the start mode. Freaked me out for a second, but thought I'd research a bit. Found a youtube video about resetting the NVRAM. Powered down, let it sit for 30 minutes, unplugged it for 10+ seconds, plugged in for 10+ seconds, then reset the NVRAM. Seems to have accepted the upgrade and seems to be running well now. Will let you know after I try a cartooning app that has been bogging down before the upgrade.
Problems with rebooting intermittently still exist. Several starting over processes later still a problem. Pulled 2
Ram slots attempting to go with 64 and see if it’s still an issue. I’m thinking it’s too much ram at 128 gig.
Hoping to get my system back at 64. Very problematic right now!
Caution! See comments below....
WARNING...they show this as a cool thing, but it messed my computer up. Had to start fresh and reinstall time backups several times of the next few days! It SEEMS to have settled on the 64 gig comfortably with 32gig in bay 1 & 32gig in bay3. Therefore, I'm selling the additional 64 gig for $350, since I've already bought it and someone else can possibly benefit, by also learning from my experience. Anyone who wants the 32 gig, message me. This is a cool concept...but be warned, the computer doesn't seem to be able to handle the whole 128 gig.
Cool video - thanks
Thank you for the information.
Thanks, as always!
WOW! You made it look so easy. How was performance?
Nice one. I am for sure going for the lowest Memory and doing it myself. Is OWC what you would recommend?
Worked perfectly! Thank you :)
Thank you, this was a very informative video...I’m in the market for an iMac but did not want to spend such a high price for what memory one gets..... thank you from Montana.
Apple are due to upgrade the iMac with thinner bezels (they have confirmed they are working on a new monitor last year). So it might be worth waiting. However, I expect apple will probably solder the RAM in the new models so that is also something to consider.
Yes, please review 21.5" 4K 2019 high end and 27" 5K base model, waiting for that!
Sadly the 21.5 ram is not user upgradable so you HAVE TO upgrade it at time of purchase and once you do, the price makes it unworthy against the 27 that even in base config is 6-core and not much more expensive.
I have a 21.5 from 2013 and I love it, but damn those 8gb are quite limiting and it's a 6 year old machine, 8gb in a current desktop is lame.
And with it being a desktop machine, weight and size is not a disadvantage, I'd much rather have the gorgeous 5k display
Will, it tremendously improves the AE performance by having more RAMS? Especially doing the motion design in 4K.
I would like exactly where you bought the ram modules, excellent video congratulations and a greeting from Spain.
I just installed 32 gigs of ram From Crucial (2x16) on my Base 2019 iMac 3.0 GHz i5. So now total ram is up to 40 gigs with the stock 8 gigs it comes with. everything seems to be running great. I'm fairly confident you could upgrade it to 64 on the base model
Thank you for letting us know!
You have literally saved me thousands of dollars! I'm struggling with the amount of video content that I have for my channel on my older (late 2013) MacBook Pro. So, considering purchasing the 2019 27‑inch iMac with Retina 5K Mac. Let us know how the performance has been holding up! Thanks for this video!
I'm in a similar situation. I'm currently editing on a 8gb dual core i5 2.7ghz early 2015 MacBook Pro and its taking me 2-3 hours to render a 3 minute video.
Fire tutorial sir, and well executed. Was starting to think one didn't exist on the internet hahaha
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!
Jeff thank you for the instructions. Just one question. I just bought a new 27", it came with 8GB RAM. Can I add two 8GB stick to the open two slots?
Brilliantly done, thank you. Do you know if the same would apply to the 2020 version of the 27-inch 5K iMac?
wow thank you so much man,
I had a chat with one apple support person and he said that with the new Apple iMac it is not possible to configure the ram by yourself? But now seeing this I guess, I will apply your tip as well when I purchase the new iMac.
They told me the same thing. Very relieved to know that there is an easy/cost-effective way to upgrade...with barely any down-time. I'm stoked about this video!
Thanks for the video. HOpe you do a review on the Imac vs the mac mini
thank you for this!!
Thanks for the video. I ordered a new iMac last week, but I ordered the base 27 inch model. Can I load more memory than Apple calls for in the base model as well? Just curious. Thanks again.
I will follow your advice; I saw the ram upgrade option with the seller and now I feel more confident to do this upgrade. My 27 inch came with a initial 8gb ram configuration and do to feel comfortable; I bought 32 ram in Amazon and now the processor temperature decreases and don’t hear the internal fans working. Thanks for your post.
Very nicely done, well explained and highly helpful. I have ordered my 128RAM but am awaiting delivery to install. 8MB is ridiculous for them to even offer at nearly $3000 for this MAC, so I blame Apple for that. They always underpower their desktops so this is needed, even for the most basic gaming or applications/video. I am shocked how little runs well with this MAC so 128MB will be a much needed upgrade.
I didnt know you could upgrade the ram on the IMac, i too have this mac and im hella about to upgrade
Thanks for the video. 128GB ram from the Imac is the same as 128GB from the iPhone ????
Great video. So if you have the 27inch 5k iMac the 1700 dollar one- the base model. You can’t put 128gb of ram? Or you can?
Sorry, I'm stoopid. Can you do this with the i5? Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Thanks for your instructional video. I just brought the middle model Imac 27 5k 2019 model with 6 i5 processors. Unlike you I don’t want to go to 128 GB. I want to keep the existing 4 GB modules and add 2 x 16 bGB memory modules ending up with 40 GB. What I’m worried about is whether this configuration is possible without degrading access time. Will the 4GB modules work with the 16Gb modules maintaining 2667 MHz and if so are their any memory configuration rules you are aware of with the 4 memory slots. You mentioned dual channel support in your video.
Great video! How do you upgrade the hard drive?
Can you tell us more about the RAM model that you have installed on the video? Or maybe some other brands of RAM that you might suggest.
Awesome due really great video
thanks for this....steve
Hi. Can I upgrade my MacBook Air? if you so what is the best that you can recommend me?
Please test this bad boy in every way, especially with an egpu in macOS and bootcamp.
Is the Vega 48 necessary?
Adobe says that the new version of premiere pro use egpu better. Can you test this?
Thank you Jeff!
Thank you!
Hi, loved your video. I have an iMac 27” 2019 3.0 GHz 6 core can I upgrade the ram more than 32gb as you did it for 128gb?
how has the iMac performed with upgraded RAM? How has it worked out? Is there a follow up video?
I remember static was a consideration when I did my install.
I don't have an iMac 2019 27 inch yet, hopefully in the fall around November. Since I am not a graphic artist at all and would only use the iMac for daily use and music. I find 128 GB quite a lot but equally interesting. Greetings from Belgium.
Great video thanks, will this memory upgrade work on a 2020 iMac 6 core?
Please do a review of the imac
YAY!! PRAISE JESUS!! IT WORKED!! I set my new computer up first then turned off and did the exchnge on the back. At first black screen but then i re- opened it and moved the chips around (they wernt in as tight) "clicked" better then turned on. Was so worried at first!!
i got the IMAC 5K 2017 27` DO U THING IT WILL WORK THE 128GB RAM???? GREAT VIDEO BTW....
great job well done
Hi thanks for the video. Just quick question. Thinking of buying a second hand iMac with 32g memory i7, DDR. Should that be fast enough? Ill just be using for some light music and photo editing ? Thanks
If I was to buy 2x16gb modules could I also leave the 2x4gb ones from the base model to make it 40gb ram. Or does it not work like that?
I would go with the 8 GB of ram and get my ram elsewhere. Thus I would use that money for CPU, GPU and Storage (1TB SSD). I do love the new internal upgrades and that the Ram Slot in the back is still there. I do like the look of the I-Mac (I also would go with the 27 Inch model so that I can get an 8 Core, 9th Generation model. With 8 GB of Video ram on top of that. I plan to do video rendering. I also want to check out Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, as well as having my Creative Cloud transferred to the I-Mac. I also plan to get an external DVD-Reader/writer from LG (which has Blue Ray writing capabilities as well). Thank you for showing the steps to install the memory,
I want to buy the lights behind the mac, could you please give us the link to buy it, please? Purple and leds 😍
Why did you go for the 575x instead of the 580x or Vega 48? Do you plan an egpu video? Is the base model even this year the best bang for the buck?
128GB of RAM oh my GOD ! Thk you for the info !
Hey, I wanted to let guys know, yes this computer will do 128 GB RAM, but that ram overheats often, the simple fix, leave the back cover off, and in my case, I put on a little muffin fan brings the temp down quite a bit, these models are known for running hot if you place a cooler fan behind it really makes it run better.
