I do sell kta rams there. If any one needs ktc ram i do sell them to in istore by czone

Hi, I just gotten myself an iMac that comes with 4Gb which isn't enough for my use, Will want to upgrade it to 16Gb once and for all. Have gone throughout the forum and notice that some ppl have manage to upgrade their using kingston KVR 1333 which is easily available at my place here whereas some have not been able to run their macs, is this a problem with the batches of KVR rams?

Is it still advisable to go for KVR rams as they're cheap and easily available at my place here and since the iMac is huge and heavy, not possible for me to bring it over to the shop for installation and testing, should i just grab the KTA Rams to be safer?

Thanks

regarding extended 3 years ACPP plan, is it safe to let go my origin 4GB RAM which I've already replaced it with 8GB Kingston? Will my warranty still protected as well as for the new RAM that I've upgraded? please advise. thanks

The warranty only covers the original configuration that was shipped out of the apple factory. If you upgraded your ram as part of your order, yes warranty will be covered. Else you will have to send for RMA in the event your newly upgraded ram fails.

Hope it helps

please take note that..KVR rams doesnt work as same like the ram manufactured for apple..the response is slightly slower.. i did on my new model mac mini..and i notice its slightly slower to respond.

if comparing to the value of money, it is still acceptable.
cheap ram but slow performance.

hmm...Could you state the memory timings for your ram? both the kingston and the original apple rams.

Sad day for me... I think my imac died on me today.. I tried to turn it on, there's start up chime and apple logo appears but after that it shuts down by it self..i kept repeating to turn it on but the same thing happens

Have you added anything recently? RAM? HD? If not, have you tried to reset the SMC and PRAM? Does your iMac still under warranty?

how about KTA compared to apple stock ram?

KTA vs Apple RAM should have no difference… KTA is Kingston RAM set to Apple specifications.

@izzi_guy did you do any testing, to verify? cos I used KVR on my iMac … no difference …

Nope everything is standard..never upgrade the RAM or anything...
Yup already tried resetting SMC but not PRAM since it will shut down automatically after apple logo appears..
It's not under warranty anymore and i didnt sign up for ACPP..

Ouch .. that'll be very expensive .. similar problem here:

Caused by defective logic board.

nooooo
anyway the firewire trick, how to do it actually? couldn't really understand..
where can i get firewire drive in KL? if the logic board defected is it still possible to cover all the data inside? all my photography stuff is inside there

Why no backup? To retrieve the data you will need another Mac. Perform target disk mode or remove the HDD from the iMac. By the way, this is upgrade discussion.

bro..im using KVR 1333 4gb x2.
seems like it quite slow responding..i open application like excel ot aperture, it takes some time to load..no like quick enough although using 8gb ram..

what happened do you think in my situation?

M using MacBook pro early 2011.. Standard ram equipped is 4gb ... After I use 3-4 months it's bit laggy... Hard disk 50% full.. Should i upgrade my ram to 8gb? Which ram I should upgrade?

SSD is your answer.

Thx bro

Dear seniors, right after I upgraded my MBP13 '11 RAM to 8GB Kingston, the original 2GBx2 from Apple is collecting dust. I was wondering is it worth it sell it off, as it's being covered for ACPP for 3 years. If yes, what should be the price? Is the price would still be the same as ordinary 2GB DDR3 2nd hand price? Advice needed. Thanks.

using macbook pro i5..any good ssd to suggest?
